The emergence of a new scientific book series requires some
explanation regarding how it hopes to compensate the reader for the
discomforts it undoubtedly produces both in the realms of
informational input-overload and in the financial strain on
personal and institutional budgets. This series recognizes that
investigators who have entered neurochemistry from the biochemical
tradition have a rather specialized view of the brain. Too often,
interdisciplinary offerings are initially attractive but turn out
to recite basic biochemical considerations. We have come to believe
that there are now sufficiently large numbers of neurochemists to
support a specialized venture such as the present one. We have
begun with consideration of traditional areas of neurochemistry
which show considerable scientific activity. We hope they will
serve the neurochemist both for general reading and for specialized
information. The reader will also have the opportunity to reftect
on the unbridled speculation that results from the disinhibiting
effects on the author who has been invited to write a chapter. We
plan occasionally also to offer reviews of areas not completely in
the domain of neurochemistry which we nevertheless feel to be
sufficiently timely to be called to the attention of all who use
chemical principles and tools in an effort to better understand the
brain. B. W. Agranoff M. H. Aprison vii CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 POSSIBLE
