  • Bat Bioacoustics

    Edited by M. Brock Fenton, Richard R. Fay, Arthur N. Popper, Alan D. Grinnell ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Arguably biosonar is one of the ‘eye-opening’ discoveries about animal behavior and the auditory systems of echolocators are front and center in this story. Echolocation by bats has proven to be a virtual gold mine for colleagues studying neurobiology, while providing many rich examples of its impact on other areas of bats’ lives. In this volume we briefly review the history of the topic ... Read more

  • Behavioral Neurobiology of Stress-related Disorders

    Edited by Carmine M. Pariante, M. Danet Lapiz-Bluhm ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Stress is such an over-used word that it is at time difficult to define its core features. When is an environment stressful? What does a stressful environment do to the brain and to the body? What are the biological mechanisms by which a stressor affects us? How does stress contributes to the onset and the progression of mental disorders? How do the effects of stress change over the life-time of ... Read more

  • Folding for the Synapse

    Edited by Vincent O'Connor, Andreas Wyttenbach ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Folding for the Synapse addresses the current view on how protein folding and misfolding, controlled by molecular chaperones, contribute to synapse function and dysfunction. Molecular chaperones have been studied in relation to de novo protein folding, but there is increasing awareness that chaperone function is required for the regulation of protein dynamics when functioning physiologically as an ...

  • Gasotransmitters: Physiology and Pathophysiology

    Edited by Anton Hermann, Guzel F. Sitdikova, Thomas M. Weiger ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Since the epochal discovery of the radical and highly toxic gas nitric oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule, two other no less toxic gases – carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) – have been found to also be involved in a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological functions. The gases termed gasotransmitters play an increasingly important role in understanding how signalling into and ... Read more

  • Astrocytes in (Patho)Physiology of the Nervous System

    Edited by Vladimir Parpura, Philip G. Haydon ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Astrocytes were the original neuroglia that Ramón y Cajal visualized in 1913 using a gold sublimate stain. This stain targeted intermediate filaments that we now know consist mainly of glial fibrillary acidic protein, a protein used today as an astrocytic marker. Cajal described the morphological diversity of these cells with some ast- cytes surrounding neurons, while the others are intimately ... Read more

  • Molecular and Functional Models in Neuropsychiatry

    Edited by Jim J. Hagan ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The development of more effective treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders requires scientific progress on a broad front. Animal models have a vital role to play in advancing the field. When deployed in conjunction with detailed study of these diseases in man they bring the power to make controlled experimental interventions which allow the functional consequences of genetic variations and ...

    Edited by Cara-Lynne Schengrund, Robert K. Yu ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    A thorough introduction is provided to the variety and complexity of the roles that glycoconjugates play in the cells of the nervous system. Basic information as well as the latest developments in neural glycobiology are discussed. Topics covered range from the structure and metabolism of the saccharide chains and current approaches used in their study, to changes glycoconjugates undergo during ... Read more

  • 5-HT2A Receptors in the Central Nervous System

    Edited by Bruno P. Guiard, Giuseppe Di Giovanni ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    5-HT2A receptors are G-protein coupled receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain, most notably on neuronal and glial cells. 5-HT2A receptors have been implicated in various central physiological functions including mood regulation, memory, sleep, nociception, eating, and reward behaviors, and they are also believed to control the cardiovascular system. This book provides a ... Read more

  • The Mammalian Auditory Pathways

    Synaptic Organization and Microcircuits

    Edited by Douglas L. Oliver, Nell B. Cant, Richard R. Fay, Arthur N. Popper ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The auditory system is a complex neural system composed of many types of neurons connected into networks. One feature that sets the auditory system apart from other sensory systems, such as somatosensory or visual systems, is the many stages of neural processing that occur between the ear in the periphery and the cerebral cortex. Each stage is composed of specialized types of neurons connected in ... Read more

  • Affective Touch and the Neurophysiology of CT Afferents

    Edited by Håkan Olausson, Johan Wessberg, India Morrison, Francis McGlone ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    CT afferents are receptors in mammalian hairy skin that fire action potentials when the skin is touched lightly which makes them particularly important in affective touch. Traditionally neuroscientific research has focused on more discriminative and haptic properties of touch that are mediated by large myelinated afferents and the coding properties and functional organization of unmyelinated CT ...
