The Dynamic Neuron

A comprehensive review of current research on synaptic plasticity.

A refreshing treatment of an important area of neuroscience. -- Mike Leski, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital This book provides an extensive review of the topic with much original perspective and discussion. Smythies' maverick statements are supported by reasonable evidence and argument. -- Ashley Bush, Harvard University Smythies provides a unique insight as well as much evidence for a biochemical basis for the formation and regression of synapses in the dynamic process of synaptic plasticity. The book will be particularly useful to a general scientific audience and will provide a platform for promoting and encouraging further research efforts by neuroscientists and cell biologists alike. -- Peter J. O'Brien, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto
