George J. Siegel Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

A text that comprehensively encompasses research which elucidates brain function and dysfunction at the level of molecular and cellular biochemistry. The volume is divided into six parts: neural membranes, synaptic function, molecular neurobiology, cellular neurochemistry, medical neurochemistry, and behavioral neurochemistry. This revised and updated edition adds new chapters on the molecular basis for olfaction and taste, neurotransmitter and growth-factor receptor families and second messenger signaling systems, amino acid and purinergic neurotransmission, neurotransmitter uptake systems, and molecular targets of drugs of abuse.

The Eighth Edition of this classic text on neurochemistry has been thoroughly updated and revised, continuing its legacy as the global standard for the biochemistry of the nervous system for over forty years. It serves as an essential resource for postgraduate trainees and educators in neurology, psychiatry, and basic neuroscience, as well as for medical and graduate students. This edition reflects advancements in the field, offering current insights into biochemical and cellular processes related to brain function and neurological diseases, making it invaluable for continuing medical education and qualifying exams. The text bridges basic and clinical neuroscience, highlighting connections between neurochemistry and neurologic diseases. Key updates include expanded coverage on intracellular trafficking, stem cells, adult neurogenesis, lipid messengers, major neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, addiction, pain, hearing and balance, learning and memory, sleep, myelin structure, autism, and neuroimmunology. Notable features include a completely updated text with new authors and chapters, over 400 revised figures in color, 61 comprehensive chapters, and translational science boxes that emphasize the integration of basic and clinical neuroscience. A companion website is also available for additional resources.
