Chemical Signalling in the Basal Ganglia

The contributions in this book span several disciplines and cross between even the wide areas of basal ganglia research which were chosen as topics. Chemical Signalling in the Basal Ganglia is an excellent scientific work, describing the topics clearly and with vision. Themes of current interest in the basal ganglia are discussed in full and with excellent illustrations. Not only the "basalgangliophile", but also the neuroanatomist, neurobiologist, neurologist, and electrophysiologist will find here some important questions answered. New tools are provided with which to tackle the remaining questions, and tried for size on basal ganglia systems.
