Pharmacology of Neurotransmitter Release

Pharmacology of Neurotransmitter Release edited by Thomas C. Südhof, Klaus Starke.

It has been known for half a century that neurotransmitters are released in preformed quanta, that the quanta represent transmitter-storing vesicles, and that release occurs by exocytosis. The focus of this book is twofold. In the first part, the molecular events of exocytosis are analysed. This inc...
