About the Book

The modulatory actions of neuropeptides and amines are described in this volume, and compared with new knowledge about L-glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principle fast chemical neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain. Also discussed are the changes in the way in which chemical signalling is viewed, following the discovery that multiple chemical signals may be secreted by single nerve cells.
