This volume is concerned with the enzymes of the nervous system.
Cerebral enzymes form the basis of the functional brain. They are
needed for the control of the energetics of the nervous system,
whether it be their release or their direction; for the elaboration
of transmitters and for their destruction; for the synthesis,
transport, and breakdown of all metabolites of the nervous system.
They are indispensable for the control of the multitude of factors
that govern our thinking and our behavior. They make it possible
for us to comprehend what is taking place around us and perhaps to
understand what may be in store for us. Enzymes are the stuff of
life, and no living cell can be without them. They are the results
of many millions of years of evolution, from the time when
biological membranes first came into being and were folded to
produce the first cells within which the earliest enzymes were
wrought. Countless changes have taken place within them, so that,
now, only those enzymes exist that play specific roles in the
functions of the living cells of today. Those in the nervous system
possess a mUltiple role: in the creation, maintenance, and ultimate
breakdown of the component cells and in enabling consciousness,
perception, memory, and thought to become possible. But though life
may go on forever, the enzymes that make life possible will undergo
the many changes involved in the evolutionary process.
