Basic Neurochemistry

This is a set of 300 slides produced from the illustrations in a text of the same title. The slides are considered to be an excellent teaching aid and correlate with the appropriate descriptive text in the book. They were specially selected to be representative of the contents. The accompanying textbook is a reference on basic neurochemistry. Highlights include: all-new accounts of olfaction and taste, glutamate and aspartate, GABA, glycine, purinergic transmitter systems, neuropeptides, G-proteins and cyclic nucleotides in the nervous system, molecular targets of abused drugs, neurotransmitter uptake systems, neurotoxicity, and fluid and solute regulation; revised and strategically expanded coverage of histamine and serotonin; significantly expanded coverage of neurotransmitters, receptor families, and second messenger systems; updates on molecular genetic approaches to inherited neurological degenerative disorders and mitochondrial diseases; extensive references to the current literature including citations of 1993 publications.
