Glial Neuronal Signaling by Glenn I. Hatton (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Glial Neuronal Signaling by Glenn I. Hatton, Vladimir Parpura This book is meant to integrate the emerging body of information that has been accumulating, revealing the interactive nature of the brains two major neural cell types, neurons and glia, in brain function. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Glial Neuronal Signaling fills a need for a monograph/textbook to be used in advanced courses or graduate seminars aimed at exploring glial - neuronal interactions. Even experts in the field will find useful the authoritative summaries of evidence on ion channels and transporters in glia, genes involved in signaling during development, metabolic cross talk and cooperation between astrocytes and neurons, to mention only a few of the timely summaries of a wide range of glial - neuronal interactions. There is no comparable title on the market currently. The chapters are written by the top researchers in the field of glial-neuronal signaling, and cover the most current advances in this field. The book will also be of value to the workers in the field of cell biology in general. Illustrations included in the accompanying CD are suitable for professional presentations and instructional materials by researchers, physicians, teachers and members of pharmaceutical industry. When we think about the brain we usually think about neurons. Although there are 100 billion neurons in mammalian brain, these cells do not constitute a majority.Quite the contrary, glial cells and other non-neuronal cells are 10-50 times more numerous than neurons. This book is meant to integrate the emerging body of information that has been accumulating, revealing the interactive nature of the brains two major neural cell types, neurons and glia, in brain function. The text is supported by the CD containing all pictures, including color, tables and movies Table of Contents 1. The glial-neuronal interactions and signaling: an introduction.- 2.
