The NMDA Receptor

This unique, comprehensive book updates coverage on the NMDA receptor - an important protein in the brain involved in the electrical and chemical processes which may underlie learning and memory. These receptors are also thought to contribute to, for example, stroke-induced brain damage and Alzheimer's disease and so there is considerable interest in drug development based on the NMDA receptor. Each chapter includes the most recent developments and is written by leading experts in the field.
