Very Sophisticated January 27, 2006

The editors did a wonderful job of putting together many review articles on synaptic structure, synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. There is so much about synapses in this book ranging from the early work of Katz to the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of LTP. Of particular interest is the Chapter by Grimwood, Martin, and Morris on Synaptic plasticity and Memory that was published in the Annual Review of Neuroscience; great ideas. Highly recommended for people who work on/are interested in synapses.

Excellent book. I am a graduate student in neuroscience, and am currently using this book as a text for a course. All of the chapters (papers) are very well written by experts in the field, yet at the same time are very easy to understand with only basic neuroscience/biological knowledge. Although it's not my area, I believe synaptic plasticity will explode with implications and explanations for psychological phenomena.
