Cognitive Enhancement: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
ISBN: 9789400762527 / Angielski / Twarda / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cognitive enhancement is the use of drugs, biotechnological strategies or other means by healthy individuals aiming at the improvement of cognitive functions such as vigilance, concentration or memory without any medical need. In particular, the use of pharmacological substances (caffeine, prescription drugs or illicit drugs) has received considerable attention during the last few years. Currently, however, little is known concerning the use of cognitive enhancers, their effects in healthy individuals and the place and function of cognitive enhancement in everyday life. The purpose of the...

Imaging the Brain in Autism
ISBN: 9781461468424 / Angielski / Twarda / 387 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Data compiled by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicates an alarming and continuing increase in the prevalence of autism. Despite intensive research during the last few decades, autism remains a behavioral defined syndrome wherein diagnostic criteria lack in construct validity. And, contrary to other conditions like diabetes and hypertension, there are no biomarkers for autism. However, new imaging methods are changing the way we think about autism, bringing us closer to a falsifiable definition for the condition, identifying affected individuals earlier in life, and...

Modulation of Presynaptic Calcium Channels
ISBN: 9789400763333 / Angielski / Twarda / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book brings together leading international experts to discuss recent advances in the regulation of presynaptic voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), key signal transducers that represent one of the most widely modulated proteins in the body. It is now commonly accepted that presence of the VGCC complex defines an excitable cell. At a basic level, VGCCs transduce membrane potential change to chemical neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals. However, on-going scientific research, presented here, in areas including neuroscience, electrophysiology, pharmacology, biochemistry and,...

Transcriptional and Translational Regulation of Stem Cells
ISBN: 9789400766204 / Angielski / Twarda / 371 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume describes the latest findings on transcriptional and translational regulation of stem cells. Both transcriptional activators and repressors have been shown to be crucial for the maintenance of the stem cell state. A key element of stem cell maintenance is repression of differentiation factors or developmental genes - achieved transcriptionally, epigenetically by the Polycomb complex, and post-transcriptionally by RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs. This volume takes two approaches to this topic - (1) illustrating the general principles outlined above through a series of different...

Biological Membranes: A Molecular Perspective from Computation and Experiment
ISBN: 9781468485820 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The interface between a living cell and the surrounding world plays a critical role in numerous complex biological processes. Sperm/egg fusion, virus/cell fusion, exocytosis, endocytosis, and ion permeation are a few examples of processes involving membranes. In recent years, powerful tools such as X-ray crystal- lography, electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and infra-red and Raman spectroscopy have been developed to characterize the structure and dy- namics of biomembranes. Despite this progress, many of the factors responsible for the function of biomembranes are still not well...

Intracellular Receptors: New Instruments for a Symphony of Signals In the late eighteenth century, it was proposed on theoretical grounds that each of the body's organs, beginning with the brain, must be "a factory and laboratory of a specific humor which it returns to the blood," and that these circulating signals "are indispensable for the life of the whole" (Bordeu 1775). During the nineteenth cen- tury, some remarkable physiological experiments revealed the actions of humoral factors that affected the for and function of multiple tissues, organs and organ sys- tems within the body...

Systems Biology: Integrative Biology and Simulation Tools
ISBN: 9789400768024 / Angielski / Twarda / 553 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Growth in the pharmaceutical market has slowed down - almost to a standstill. One reason is that governments and other payers are cutting costs in a faltering world economy. But a more fundamental problem is the failure of major companies to discover, develop and market new drugs. Major drugs losing patent protection or being withdrawn from the market are simply not being replaced by new therapies - the pharmaceutical market model is no longer functioning effectively and most pharmaceutical companies are failing to produce the innovation needed for success. This multi-authored new book looks...
