Description
Summary:This volume is divided into three sections: synaptic transmission, synaptic modulation, and synaptic plasticity. Some of the topics covered include: molecular targets underlying ethanol-mediated reduction of hormone release from neurohypophysial nerve terminals; alcohol and general anesthetic modulation of GABAA and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors; alcohol and the 5-HT3 receptor, adenosine and ethanol; metabotropic hypothesis for ethanol sensitivity of GABAergic and glutamatergic central synapses; alcohol, memory, and molecules; novel forms and analyses of ethanol effects on synaptic plasticity; and ethanol suppression of hippocampal plasticity.
