Dendritic Neurotransmitter Release

This text will highlight the mechanisms and consequences of dendritic transmitter release, with an emphasis on the mechanisms that generate such processing and how these can induce state-dependent plasticity in the processing. This volume will be out of broad significance, expanding the understanding of the spectrum of dendritic mechanisms for neural processing. It will demonstrate that dendritic release that likely occurs throughout the brain is a key feature in the control of information transfer in neural networks, through cross-talk and autorcontrol by paracine/autocrine mechanisms.
