Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Synaptic Plasticity - Neurobiology, Neuroanatomy, and Clinical Neuroscience explores the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt through changes in synaptic strength and connectivity. This volume brings together leading experts to examine the mechanisms that underlie learning, memory, development, and recovery from injury. Spanning molecular biology, structural neuroanatomy, and clinical practice, the book offers an integrated perspective on how synaptic changes shape behavior and influence neurological and psychiatric conditions. Topics include long-term potentiation, synaptic remodeling, neurotransmitter systems, network-level plasticity, and emerging therapies targeting synaptic function. Designed for neuroscientists, clinicians, and advanced students, the book is divided into three parts: 1. Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity and Dysfunction 2. Therapeutic Modulation of Plasticity 3. Synaptic Plasticity in Specific Systems and Conditions Whether you are conducting research, treating patients, or teaching the next generation of scientists, this book offers a comprehensive yet accessible resource on one of neuroscience's most dynamic fields. The book will help you understand how the brain changes, explore the foundations of neuroplasticity and apply this knowledge to clinical care.
