Molecular Controls and Communication in Cerebral Cortex

An Overview

  • Chapter
Neurotransmitters and Cortical Function

Abstract

The contributors to the present symposium have provided many fascinating and important highlights of recent research on the many neurotransmitters or modulators which have played a leading role in the remarkable advances being made during recent years in our understanding of the chemical and molecular mechanisms involved in the organization of cortical function. In this final chapter, we shall attempt to present some of our impressions of the overall importance of these developments with an emphasis on the subtitle of this book From Molecules to Mind.
