  • The Great Brain Debateby John E. Dowling

    Princeton University Press 2007; US$ 20.95

    Whether our personality, intelligence, and behavior are more likely to be shaped by our environment or our genetic coding is not simply an idle question for today's researchers. There are tremendous consequences to understanding the crucial role that environment and genes each play. How we raise and educate our children, how we treat various mental diseases or conditions, how we care for our elderly--these are just some of the issues that can be informed by a better understanding of brain development. In The Great Brain Debate , the eminent neuroscience researcher John Dowling looks at these and other important issues. The work that is being done on the connection between the brain and vision, as well as the ways in which our brains help... more...

  • Everyman's fitness guideby Infinite Ideas

    Infinite Ideas 2012; US$ 4.95

    There was a time when a man would be no more likely to look at a guide to fitness than he would be to ask for directions. Well, times have changed.

This book contains 20 simple ideas to start you off on the route to total fitness. You’ll find out what to eat, the best exercises for fitness and muscle tone and how to build both of these into your daily life with the minimum of effort. You might even enjoy it!. more...

  • Elements of Molecular Neurobiologyby C. U. M. Smith

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 275.00

    This edition of the popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern molecular biology techniques. Understanding how the brain works from a molecular level allows research to better understand behaviours, cognition, and neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the second edition, much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its relations with early evolution. This "evodevo" (as it has come to be known) framework also has a great deal of bearing on our understanding of neuropathologies as dysfunction of early onset genes can cause neurodegeneration in later life. Advances in our understanding of the genomes and proteomes of a number of organisms also greatly influence our... more...

  • Patch Clampingby Areles Molleman

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 149.95

    Patch clamping is a widely applied electrophysiological technique for the study of ion channels; membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions across cellular membranes and therefore influence the physiology of all cells. Patch Clamping aims to cover the basic principles and practical applications of this important technique. Starting with a review of the history of patch clamping, the text then goes on to cover the basic principles, platforms, equipment and environmental control, and will also include coverage of preparation types, recording modes and analysis of results. * This book will explain the basic principles and practical application of patch clamp electrophysiology. * Written in a non-technical style to ensure its broad appeal... more...

  • Role of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Smooth Muscleby Novartis Foundation

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 195.00

    Smooth muscle contraction is a vital component of the functioning of blood vessels, the uterus, airways and the bladder. Its malfunction can lead to serious pathological conditions, such as hypertension and pre-term labour. The calcium ion plays a central role in smooth muscle function, increasing in concentration for contraction and decreasing for relaxation. Calcium entry into the cell is facilitated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This book explores the latest research on the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in smooth muscle function. It examines the control and modulation of the SR and how this may vary among smooth muscle types. Potential therapeutic implications are also discussed. Discusses new and exciting work in this... more...
