Summary: Neurotransmission
Comment: Comprehensive but concise and readable introduction to molecular events involved in synaptic neurotransmission. What else can I say? I read the book once quickly, and then particular sections a second time as an adjunct to other works.

Rating: 5
Summary: Summary: A clear review of synaptic activities
Comment: This book is written in a clear style with some excellent diagrams accompanying the text. While jargon is used (impossible to avoid in science) the terms are always explained, making it an easier read (though not a simplistic one) and thus the text flows easily.

One feature which stands out is the logical way in which the information is presented, including a brief index at the beginning of each chapter.

Frequently, cross-reference is made to points made in a previous chapter or paragraph which helps to keep information 'in mind' as the text is read and greatly aids understanding.

The relationship between different ion channels and the receptors which control them (as well as those which are not controlled by receptors !) is not a straightforward one, however this book has managed to unravel the many pathways and show how they can be linked together in synaptic regions.

As I'm trying to write my PhD thesis I have found this book to be invaluable in both providing a logical framework as well as a lot of background information - I wish I'd written it !!
