Edited by S. J. Enna and Hanns Möhler 2007 This volume is the third edition of a monograph series that was first published in 1983. The demand for this work is a testament to the impact of studies on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors on the basic understanding of synaptic transmission and on defining the clinical […]

Edited by Rae R. Matsumoto Wayne D. Bowen and Tsung-Ping Su 2007 Over the last 30 years, our understanding of a receptors has undergone a colossal evolution. They began as theoretical entities, then progressed to enigmatic receptors, and finally to identified proteins with important biological functions.

Edited by NIGEL M. HOOPER and UWE LENDECKEL 2007 In recent years a growing number of proteases have been identified that catalyse peptide bond hydrolysis in the plane of the cellular membrane. These so-called ‘intramembrane-cleaving proteases’ (I-CLiPs) are involved in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell regulation, signalling and protein processing.

Edited by JOYCE TOMBRAN-TINK COLIN J. BARNSTABLE JOSEPH F. RIZZO III 2007 New Hope in Sight The history of medicine has been substantially defined by a small number of monumental discoveries. Most of these breakthroughs have emerged from the biological sciences. One of the first great breakthroughs was the recognition by Koch in 1884 that pathogens could […]

Edited by JOYCE TOMBRAN-TINK and COLIN J. BARNSTABLE 2007 For centuries, humans have tried to explain the complex process of vision and find effective treatments for eye diseases. Perhaps the oldest surviving record of ancient ophthalmic practices is the Babylonian code of Hammurabi that over 4000 years ago, mentioned fees for eye surgery—and penalties for unsuccessful operations that […]

S. Funahashi (Ed.) 2007 In our daily life, we perceive a variety of stimuli from the environment. However, among these, only a few selected stimuli are further processed in our brain. These selected stimuli are processed and integrated together with the information stored in long-term memory to generate an appropriate behavior.
