Beyond the Synapse: Cell-Cell Signaling In Synaptic Plasticity

This book provides a comprehensive overview of how intercellular signalling enables neurons to communicate beyond the synapse, revealing that there is much to learning and memory that lies beyond the synapse.

With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book sheds light on the cell-cell interactions that control the formation of synapses and their connections during life, and how these changes are the basis for learning and memory and recovery from brain disease or injury.

The book also devotes chapters to consideration of glia, brain cells which have been ignored in most studies of learning and memory.

With its high-quality production and excellent illustrations, this book is a must-read for academic researchers and professionals looking to expand their knowledge of the intricate processes that underlie learning and memory.
