Biology of the Nmda Receptor

Informationen zum Autor Antonius M. VanDongen Klappentext The NMDA receptor plays a critical role in the development of the central nervous system and in adult neuroplasticity! learning! and memory. Therefore! it is not surprising that this receptor has been widely studied. However! despite the importance of rhythms for the sustenance of life! this aspect of NMDAR function remains poorly studied. Written by one of the worlda (TM)s leading authorities on NMDA receptors! Biology of the NMDA Receptor brings together virtually all the players in this important field. Zusammenfassung The NMDA receptor plays a critical role in the development of the central nervous system and in adult neuroplasticity, learning, and memory. This book brings together virtually various players in this field. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Molecular Genetics of the NMDA Receptor. NMDA Receptors: Learning and Memory.
