1 Studying neuronal function using the Drosophila genetic system / J. Douglas Armstrong, Stephen F. Goodwin 1 -- 2 Using mouse genetics to study neuronal development and function / Harald Jockusch, Thomas Schmitt-John 15 -- 3 Gene expression: from precursor to mature neuron / Uwe Ernsberger 29 -- 4 Protein trafficking in neurons / Christopher N. Connolly 75 -- 5 Ion channels and electrical activity / Mauro Pessia 103 -- 6 Molecular biology of transmitter release / Julie Staple, Stefan Catsicas 139 -- 7 Molecular biology of postsynaptic structures / Flaminio Cattabeni, Fabrizio Gardoni, Monica Di Luca 165 -- 8 Signal reception: Ligand-gated ion channel receptors / R. Wayne Davies, Thora A. Glencorse 183 -- 9 Signal reception: G protein-coupled receptors / Jennifer A. Koenig 215 -- 10 Synapse-to-nucleus calcium signalling / Giles E. Hardingham 249 -- 11 Signalling by tyrosine phosphorylation in the nervous system / Jean-Antoine Girault 267 -- 12 Mature neurons: Signal transduction-serine/ threonine kinases / Renata Zippel, Simona Baldassa, Emmapaola Sturani 287 -- 13 The cytoskeleton / Javier Diaz-Nido, Jesus Avila 313 -- 14 Neuronal Plasticity / Brian J. Morris 353 -- 15 Genetic basis of human neuronal diseases / Mark E.S. Bailey 383 -- 16 Ageing and the death of neurones / Paul Shiels, R. Wayne Davies 435
A compendium of comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of neuronal molecular biology by leading researchers in the field, this book focuses on genetic and molecular analysis, and on the present state of knowledge on molecular biology phenomena in neurons. The contributors describe all aspects of neuron structure and function, including ion channels, receptors, signaling properties, synapse biology, and the genes and molecules involved in the development, maintenance, diseases and death of neurons. The inheritance and expression of neuronal genes are also described, with particular emphasis on their relation to human disease
