Chemical Neurotransmission

Embark on a fascinating journey into the intricate world of chemical neurotransmission with this well-preserved hardcover edition of "Chemical Neurotransmission" by L. Stjarne, published by Academic Press in 1981. This comprehensive text, spanning 562 pages (though the description states 585p), delves deep into the fundamental processes that govern communication within the nervous system, a cornerstone of understanding neurological function and disease. L. Stjarne, a highly respected figure in the field of neuroscience, meticulously explores the synthesis, storage, release, and receptor interactions of neurotransmitters. While specific biographical information about Stjarne is limited in easily accessible online sources, his work is recognized as a significant contribution to the understanding of how neurons communicate, influencing our comprehension of everything from mood and behavior to movement and cognition. This book likely represents a distillation of his extensive research and expertise. This particular copy, bound in a striking red cloth, originates from a Cambridge college library, adding a touch of academic provenance and history. Its condition is described as very good, with a firm binding and unmarked pages, suggesting careful handling and preservation over the years. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of scientific history. The book weighs 1040g. "Chemical Neurotransmission" is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in various fields, including neuroscience, pharmacology, medicine, and psychology. It provides a detailed overview of the key neurotransmitter systems, examining the mechanisms of action of various drugs and toxins that affect neurotransmission. Given its publication date, the book offers a unique perspective on the state of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field at the time, providing historical context for contemporary research. While modern neuroscience has advanced significantly since 1981, the fundamental principles outlined in "Chemical Neurotransmission" remain relevant and foundational. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a solid understanding of the basic mechanisms that underlie brain function. This book is more than just a textbook; it's a window into the history of neuroscience, a testament to the enduring power of scientific inquiry, and a valuable addition to any serious collection of medical or scientific literature. This is a vintage textbook, expect that the material covered might be dated and some facts might not reflect the current understanding of neurotrasmission. Perfect for: * Students studying neuroscience, pharmacology, or related fields * Researchers investigating neurotransmitter function and dysfunction * Medical professionals seeking a deeper understanding of neurological disorders * Anyone interested in the history of neuroscience Grab this rare and well-maintained copy of "Chemical Neurotransmission" and unlock the secrets of the brain!
