Synaptic Plasticity Dynamics, Development and Disease

Synaptic Plasticity Dynamics, Development and Disease / edited by Michael R. Kreutz, Carlo Sala.

This book introduces the current concepts of molecular mechanisms in synaptic plasticity and provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research technology used to investigate the molecular dynamics of the synapses. It explores current concepts on activity-dependent remodeling of the synaptic...
