The Brain
No Customer Reviews
The central question in neurobiology is: How does the brain work? At the beginning of the 1980s, armed with the new techniques of recombinant DNA and monoclonal antibodies, molecular biologists began to approach some aspects of this question without being intimidated by the formidable facts of electrophysiology or neuroanatomy. In the past decade these first steps toward the last frontier of biology have quickened and lengthened. Talented investigators have brought to the field expertise and imagination derived from other branches of biology and computer science. These have been applied to the study of nerve cell growth and differentiation, signal reception and transduction, and networked cellular interactions in such fundamental processes as vision, olfaction, learning, memory, and motor control. Over 100 outstanding scientists were invited to Cold Spring Harbor's 55th annual Symposium to present their latest ideas and data. In May 1991, their papers were published in this volume of the most prestigious book series in biology. Symposium LV presents current neurobiology in all its dramatic diversity and is an unrivaled resource for workers in this field.
