Publisher Summary 1
Fifty-seven international academics and researchers contribute 16 chapters reporting on recent studies in the field of amino acid receptors. As with other books from Nova Science Publishers, the editors' credentials are not stated, nor is the target audience. The preface, consisting of one brief introductory paragraph followed by verbatim reproduction of the abstracts accompanying each chapter, lacks any summarization or analysis of the text's contents and does not give any criteria for inclusion of the individual papers. A sampling of topics: neurochemical and developmental aspects of glutamate receptors in the retina, insights from structure-function studies of AMPA receptor agonists and competitive antagonists, NMDA receptor-mediated activation of arachidonic acid and nitric oxide signaling pathways in the spinal processing of pain, AMPA receptor-mediated neuronal death in motor neuron disease, excitotoxicity and white matter damage, and chemoreception of umami in caterpillars.
