Presenting the proceedings of a neurobiology conference, this work covers such topics as biophysical properties of neuronal pacemaker cells; transmitter regulated intrinsic properties in spinal motoneurons; and neuromodulatory control of state dependent processing in thalamocortical systems.

The features of this book include: neuronal communication - thoughts on its origin; cellular and molecular basis of neurotransmitter release; "patch-clamp" - studies on calcium regulation and secretion control; synaptic-like activation of excitatory membrane channels (acetylcholine, glutamate).
