Abstract

As mentioned in Chapter 1, neuronal systems are hierarchically organized in different structural layers (Bear et al., 2007), usually in an aqueous environment. The bottom layer of this hierarchy is that of molecules the top level is the entire human brain. Molecules are the smallest functional units having a variety of tasks in biological systems, to which their structure is related. Accordingly on this level a central dogma is that of a “structure-function-relation” for proteins.
