| Summary: | The modern conception of the microenvironment of nerve cells as a dynamic structure and communication channel is unequivocally reviewed in this book. This conception sees the microenvironment as a modulation channel, whose ionic and chemical composition and anatomic structure significantly influence the complex function of neurons and glial cells in the nervous tissue and sensory organs. Major importance is placed on the interrelationships among the three compartments:the neurons, the glial cells and the extracellular space. The results presented here of studies accumulated over the last 20 years deal with ionic changes in the neuronal microenvironment and discuss their physiological and pathophysiological significance. |
