Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium of the CRSN, held May 6-7, 2002 in Montréal; organized by Laurent Descarries, Krešimir Krnjević and Mircea Steriade and hosted by the Université de Montréal, Centre de recherche en sciences neurologiques.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Section I. The acetylcholine innervation of cerebral cortex -- Section II. Modes of action of acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex -- Section III. Cortical properties and functions modulated by acetylcholine -- Section IV. Clinical pathological and therapeutic implications.
Comprehensive expos & eacute;, by leading neuroscientists, of current knowledge on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. All aspects of the subject are covered, from its most elementary, at the molecular and cellular levels, to its systemic and holistic implications, including its role in cognition and involvement in human diseases and therapeutics. The twenty-two chapters are grouped under four main headings : I. Functional Morphology of the Acetylcholine Innervation in Cerebral Cortex (Including Hippocampus); II. Modes of Action of Acetylcholine in the Cerebral Cortex; III. Cortical Properties and Functions Modulated by Acetylcholine, and IV. Clinical, Pathological and Therapeutic Implications. This broad perspective updates the reader on recent advances and future trends in the study of a major neuromodulatory system in brain.
