Description:
This book reviews the latest work on brain functioning at the molecular level. The key to the proper functioning of the brain is that stimulii and signals from the outside world (such as light and touch) are correctly interpreted by the brain. Therefore, the signals must be translated into the brain's language of chemical signals correctly and transfered between cells correctly. The signals actively modify the ion channels through which they are sent. Work in this area is key to understanding the principles of learning as well such pathological conditions such as Alzheimer Disease.
