Ionic and Volume Changes in the Microenvironment of Nerve and Receptor Cells

The modern conception of the microenvironment of nerve cells as a dynamic structure and communication channel is reviewed in this book. Major importance is placed on the interrelationships among the three compartments - the neurons, the glial cells and the extracellular space.

The modern conception of the microenvironment of nerve cells as a dynamic structure and communication channel is unequivocally reviewed in this book. This conception sees the microenvironment as a modulation channel, whose ionic and chemical composition and anatomic structure significantly influence the complex function of neurons and glial cells in the nervous tissue and sensory organs.
