The volume offers insight into the key research topics that involve caspases. Leading experts from various areas of biology and medicine have compiled this volume so that both the novice and the professional will use this as the main reference for caspases for years to come. The reader will learn about the role of caspases in apoptosis signaling, inflammation and cancer therapy while being updated on the methodology used to study caspases and the efforts of pharmaceutical research in targeting caspases.

In a clear exposition this inspirational book shows the in situ three-dimensional morphology of cerebellar neurons, intracortical circuits and synaptic connections that underpin the functioning of cerebellar neurons in networks. It brings together in one volume a new view of the three-dimensional cytoarchitectonic arrangement of the cerebellar cortex.

The book shows the cerebellar extrinsic and intrinsic intracortical circuits formed by mossy and climbing fibers as exposed by the cryofracture methods. The high degree of lateral collateralization of these fibers is also...
