Beschreibung

Synaptic Transmission is a comprehensive guide to the topic of neurotransmission that provides an in-depth discussion on many aspects of synapse structure and function-a fundamental part of the neuroscience discipline. Chapters include boxes that describe renowned/award-winning researchers and their contributions to the field of synaptic transmission, diseases relevant to the material presented, details of experimental approaches used to study synaptic transmission, and interesting asides that expand on topics covered. This book will inspire students to appreciate how the basic cellular and molecular biology of the synapse can lead to a better understanding of nervous system function and neurological disorders.

Über den Autor
Dr. Meriney is Professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. He completed his Ph.D. in Physiology / Neuroscience with Dr. Guillermo Pilar at the University of Connecticut studying the development of parasympathetic synapses that innervate the intrinsic eye muscles. He then moved on to postdoctoral training in synaptic physiology at UCLA under the direction of Dr. Alan Grinnell where he used the neuromuscular junction as a model system to study presynaptic mechanisms of transmitter release. At the University of Pittsburgh, he has developed a research program focused on neurotransmitter release, plasticity, and diseases of the synapse, including the development of a new class of calcium channel gating modifiers with therapeutic potential to treat various neuromuscular disorders that result in weakness. Dr. Meriney has received grant support for this research from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the American Heart Association, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Dr. Meriney has developed and taught several undergraduate courses at the University of Pittsburgh including Developmental Neuroscience and Synaptic Transmission, that both serve a relatively large class of undergraduates majoring in Neuroscience. He is also currently the co-director for the graduate program within the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh, a multi-departmental cross campus PhD training program.
