Beschreibung
Monoaminergic Modulation of Cortical Excitability serves as an integrative and comprehensive comparison of the diverse and complex modulatory action of dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin receptors in the cortex. The volume is organized into several sections offering a broad spectrum of opinions on how the monoamine systems affect cortical function from a cellular/sub-cellular level to a system level. The complexity of these interactions are discussed in light of recent data showing how disruption of these systems dramatically affects the memory formation and information processing in the cortex.

Reviews important cellular and synaptic mechanisms by which dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin receptors regulate cortical excitability and plasticity during critical periods of postnatal development Discusses and establishes the link between mechanisms coupling these monoamine actions on biophysical properties of cortical neurons and synapses to its potential computational role in cortical functions Provides new insights on how disruption of these interactions will affect dramatically the memory formation and information processing in the cortex Will be of interest to a broad audience of neuroscientists from cellular and system physiology to behavior researchers Can be used as a supplementary text for courses in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, cellular and molecular pharmacology, pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, and experimental psychology
