The Oxford Handbook of Neuronal Ion Channels (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Bhattacharjee, Arin

Produktbeschreibung

Neurons are excitable cells. They use ions and electrical signaling to talk to each to other and when they talk to each other, neurons control behavior. The Oxford Handbook of Neuronal Ion Channels is an accessible reference describing the nature and properties of ion channels in neurons. The book explains how ion channels open and close, how they can be selective for specific ions, and how they give rise to action potentials. Included are in-depth chapters discussing specific classes of ion channels: potassium channels, sodium channels, neurotransmitter-gated ion channels and other specialized channels. Throughout the handbook, important insight is provided on the contribution ion channels make to neuronal excitability and to synaptic transmission. The handbook goes further to discuss channelopathies, a group of human diseases such as epilepsy, pain and migraines that can be caused by ion channel dysfunction. For neuroscientists, biophysicists and neuropharmacologists, this handbook is a valuable reference of ion channel biology and function.

Autorenporträt

Arin Bhattacharjee obtained his Bachelor's degree and Pharmacology Certificate from the University of Alberta in 1992. He completed doctoral training from the University of South Alabama with Dr. Ming Li in 1999 and did postdoctoral training at Yale University with Dr. Leonard Kaczmarek. In 2005 Bhattacharjee was appointed assistant professor at the University at Buffalo and currently he is an associate professor in Pharmacology and Toxicology. Bhattacharjee investigates how sodium-activated potassium channels contribute to neuronal firing in pain-sensing neurons, during inflammation and nerve injury. He has published 40 papers on ion channel biology and function.
