• Sommario/riassunto: Within the complex neuronal network of the nervous system, neuron-to-neuron communication occurs mainly through chemical synapses, where the presynaptic nerve terminal releases neurotransmitters which control the function of postsynaptic neurons by acting on postsynaptic receptors. Recent decades have brought ground-breaking new developments and a wealth of knowledge to this field. In 'Molecular Mechanisms of Neurotransmitter Release', leading experts provide concise, up-to-date information on all major molecular mechanisms involved, with complete background information and figures and diagram
