Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

An introduction to the field of molecular neuroscience, a research area which is seeking to understand the molecular mechanisms of complex brain functions such as memory, and the molecular pathology of inherited neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 184-193) and index.
