This book summarizes the most recent data on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine the unique properties of nerve cells-their ability to differentiate, establish connections to each other, and to form the nervous system with its immense capability for receiving, analyzing, and storing information about one's external and internal world. The author underscores the key role of calcium ions in this process, as well as nervous system function in aging and neural pathology. Drawing from significant new research that has never been punlished, Plasticity in Nerve Cell Function will be of interest to researchers and students with an interest in the fields of neurophysiology, cellular physiology, biophysics, and neurochemistry. It will also be valuable to researchers and medical doctors with an interest in neuropathology and aging.
