Abstract

Neuronal signaling and behavior

Highlights

The last years have witnessed a number of important technical breakthroughs, which have improved considerably the ability to investigate the contribution of molecular processes to physiological and pathological conditions
The scope of the present volume is to provide a panoramic view of recent progress in this direction, with special emphasis on key molecular mechanisms implicated in learning and memory function, as well as in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and drug addiction
The Original Article by Pozzi et al (2011) provides evidence indicating that activation of the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), at different locations within the corticostriatal circuitry, is associated to distinct behavioral responses involved in visuospatial attention

Summary

Introduction

The last years have witnessed a number of important technical breakthroughs, which have improved considerably the ability to investigate the contribution of molecular processes to physiological and pathological conditions. The scope of the present volume is to provide a panoramic view of recent progress in this direction, with special emphasis on key molecular mechanisms implicated in learning and memory function, as well as in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and drug addiction.
