This volume provides an interdisciplinary approach to this central research topic. Firstly, the hippocampus is presented generally as a model for experiments on neurotransmission in the central nervous system; secondly, special features of synaptic organisation and synaptic transmission in this area of the brain are introduced. Of particular note is the wide-ranging methodological approach which includes light and electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, Golgi/EM techniques, intracellular differentiation and intracellular colorings, histochemistry of transmitter enzymes and receptoraudiography. The reader thereby gains insight into the broad scope of methodological possibilities for the examination of such a complex problem as neurotransmission in the hippocampus.

Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs For over 45 years, the three-volume Color Atlas of Human Anatomy has provided readers with a compact review of the human body and its structures. It is ideal for studying, preparing for exams, and as a reference. The new, 8th edition of Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs builds on a robust foundation of scientific knowledge, summarizing in its compactness the structure and functions of the nervous system and sensory organs. Key highlights: Updated to include the latest findings in neuroanatomy Proven concept of concise texts paired with 190 color plates of outstanding anatomical illustrations The structure and topography of the various components of the nervous system and their complex, functional interactions are explained Important neuroanatomical research techniques and the use of imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT) are discussed Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs is accompanied by Volume 1: Locomotor System (ISBN 978-3-13-242443-3) and Volume 2: Internal Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242448-7).

The perennial neurology classic, updated and expanded The sixth edition of Duus' classic Topical Diagnosis in Neurology builds on the clear, integrated presentation of anatomy, function, and disorders of the central nervous system that made it a success for almost over five decades, serving as a quick reference for practitioners and trainees alike. It elucidates the neuroanatomical pathways that lead to specific clinical syndromes, and demonstrates how comprehensive anatomical knowledge combined with a thorough neurological examination can help localize and categorize a lesion and arrive at a differential diagnosis. The time-tested logical, thematic structure with useful summaries, at the beginning of each chapter, and color-coded section headings enable readers to distinguish neuroanatomical from clinical material at a glance and enable efficient and time saving study. Features of the sixth edition: New tables and clinical case examples Improved descriptions of neuroanatomical/neurophysiological basics in the context of clinical symptoms Twenty-three new illustrations, to a total of more than 400 illustrations A wide range of study aids and clinical correlations that support the emphasis on integrative medicine in the current medical school curricula Topical Diagnosis in Neurology is an ideal reference for neurologists and neuroscientists who correlate neurological diseases with anatomical location to arrive at a diagnosis or understand a clinical syndrome. It is also an essential tool for trainees and advanced students who need a solid grounding in key neurofunctional relationships.
