Published since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology is a
well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians,
psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. Led by an
internationally renowned editorial board, this important serial
publishes both eclectic volumes made up of timely reviews and
thematic volumes that focus on recent progress in a specific area
of neurobiology research.
International Review of Neurobiology, Volume 46 presents in-depth
reviews on such ground-breaking topics as assembly and
intracellular trafficking of GABA A receptors, D-1 dopamine
receptors, and Alzheimer's disease. This series offers the most
comprehensive and up-to-date information available and is a must
for anyone in the field.
When we walk, drive a car, or fly an airplane, visual motion is
used to control and guide our movement. Optic flow describes the
characteristic pattern of visual motion that arises in these
situations. This book is the first to take an in-depth look at the
neuronal processing strategies that underlie the brain's ability to
analyze and use optic flow for the control of self-motion. It does
so in a variety of species which use optic flow in different
behavioral contexts. The spectrum ranges from flying insects to
birds, higher mammals and man. The contributions cover
physiological and behavioral studies as well as computational
models. Neuronal Processing of Optic Flow provides an authoritative
and comprehensive overview of the current state of research on this
topic written by a group of authors who have made essential
contributions to shaping this field of research over the last ten
years.
The book presents a basis for the interaction of the brain and nervous system with painting, music and literature, and a discussion of art from multiple facets such as anatomy, migraine, illusion and evolutionary biology. The book explores several aspects of the neurobiology of painting, including evolutionary neurobiology, sensation vs. perception, the visual brain and how the mind works, and also explores the affects of brain disorders and trauma on artist, with a concluding chapter on Frida Kahlo and the spinal cord injury that influenced her painting.
Glutamate and GABA are the main information carrying neurotransmitters in the brain. Their action is modulated by a further series of small molecules called neuromodulators. The major neuromodulators in the brain are acetylcholine (both muscarinic and nicotinic), dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and serotonin. These have an enormous range of functions in a wide variety of brain mechanisms. This book attempts to give a general overview of this field with a section devoted to each of these. Each section starts with anatomy, both structural and functional. The various types of receptors for these agents are described and then the effects of stimulating these receptors. These receptors trigger a variety of electrical reactions that generally involve potassium, sodium or calcium channels. Also reviewed are other receptors that trigger a wide variety of post-synaptic signaling cascades that influence a large number of neuronal functions including receptor sensitivity, synaptic plasticity and gene manipulation. Finally the relevance of these systems to disease states is detailed. There are many reviews of individual neuromodulators but this is the only book where one author attempts to cover the whole field.
