This second volume of Basic and Clinical Aspects of Neuroscience is
devoted to the various transmitter systems of the brain (classical
and neuropeptides). In Part I the basic aspects are given,
including a critical appraisal of the methods used yesterday and
today to describe such neurotransmitter systems. Part II
concentrates on the functioning in the body of these transmitter
systems under physiologic and pathologic conditions. It goes on to
show how neuroendocrine investigations may give insights into the
functioning of neurotransmitter sys tems at least in the
hypothalamus, to end with a chapter which assesses very critically
the errors and deficiencies of the concepts and techniques used in
the attempt to understand the functioning of the brain and the
mind. The editors have been fortunate to have the eight chapters
written by a team of investigators working under the direction of
Professor G. Fink in the MRC Brain Metabolic Unit at Edinburgh
University. We are grateful to him and his colleagues for their
work in writing these chapters and for the fine result they
achieved. I am grateful for the editorial work done by Professor E.
E. Muller (Milan) and Professor M. O. Thorner (Charlottesville),
which made this volume possible. Basle, May 1987 E. Fluckiger
