Functional Diversity of Interacting Receptors : Papers Presented at a Conference Sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences on May 25-28, 1994, in Washington, DC

This volume increases understanding of functional significance of neuronal receptor diversity by presenting the latest work on such subjects as: the genetic regulation of receptor subtypes; the functional characteristics of neurons with subtypes; second-messenger and ion-channel diversity; species and regional differences in receptor subtypes; changes occurring with age and pathologic state; and changes in receptor structure and gene expression associated with prolonged exposure to agonists and antagonists.
