Traditionally, intercellular communication and the regulation of
biological functions of the body have been considered the role of
two major and distinct systems: the nervous system and the
endocrine system. The classic nervous system transmitted its signal
rapidly by using electrical currents, whereas the signals used by
the endocrine system were hormones produced by endocrine glands
which reached the target tissues via the blood stream. During the
past few decades, it has become apparent that these systems of
intercellular com munication are not distinct and the signal
messenger molecules are not unique to one or the other system. Many
classic endocrine hormones are found in and act on nervous tissues
and evidence exists for their de novo synthesis by neural related
tissues. An exciting development in this area is the possibility
that insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) are not only
produced by neural tissues but also exert profound physiological
and biochemical effects on these tissues. The area of investigation
of CNS insulin and IGF has been expanding rapidly and the
availability of this book complete with up-to-date reviews on the
subject by leaders in the field allows other scientists to utilize
the knowledge in planning and adapting the latest ideas for future
experiments. In addition, the book provides a collection of
up-to-date articles for teachers to be used for the latest
instructional material. The first section of the book covers
general aspects of insulin receptors and insulin action."
