Neurophysiology of Neuroendocrine Neurons / Wiley-INF Neuroendocrinology Series Bd.1 (ePub)

Neurophysiology of Neuroendocrine Neurons provides researchers
and students with not only an understanding of neuroendocrine cell
electrophysiology, but also an appreciation of how this model
system affords access to virtually all parts of the neuron for
detailed study - something unique compared to most types of neuron
in the brain. Chapters range from those describing the rich history
and current state of in vivo recordings, highlighting the precise
relationship between the patterns of action potential discharge in
these neurons and hormone release, to in vitro approaches where
neuroendocrine neurons can be precisely identified and their
membrane properties, morphology, and synaptic responses, directly
examined.



* Written by a team of internationally renowned
researchers, each chapter presents a succinct summary of the very
latest developments in the field

* Includes an evaluation of different experimental
approaches, both in vivo and in vitro, and how the resulting data
are interpreted

* Both print and enhanced e-book versions are
available

* Illustrated in full colour throughout

This is the first volume in a new Series
'Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology' , a co- publication
between Wiley and the INF (International Neuroendocrine Federation)
that aims to illustrate highest standards and encourage the use of
the latest technologies in basic and clinical research and hopes to
provide inspiration for further exploration into the exciting field
of neuroendocrinology.
