This book examines the function of all involved components in the complex environment of the neuronal microenvironment, relates them to neuronal demands, and includes their distributions during major disease states. The volume opens with a focus on neuronal requirements and then proceeds to describe the dependency of their excitability from external factors that accumulate extracellular space as well as their varying demand for energy metabolities.

More DescriptionThis book examines the function of all involved components in the complex environment of the neuronal microenvironment, relates them to neuronal demands, and includes their distributions during major disease states. The volume opens with a focus on neuronal requirements and then proceeds to describe the dependency of their excitability from external factors that accumulate extracellular space as well as their varying demand for energy metabolities. The authors, all experts in their field, explain both the normal functioning of accessory elements in the neuronal microenvironment, and their involvement in major diseases. Therefore, The Neuronal Microenvironment will be of great interest to researchers, graduate students and educators that want to understand the complex environment of neurons, and also to health professionals that need to understand the normal homeostatic role of the neuronal environment in order to follow disease patterns.
