* This volume provides an up-to-date review of plant, animal and synthetic neurotoxins. As a typical volume in Neuroscience Perspectives, the physiological, biochemical and pharmacological aspects are discussed with potential therapeutic applications. Thus the action of neurotoxins of ion channels and neuroreceptors, their use in destroying selective neuronal poppulations, and the clues this provides as to the underlying causes of neurodegenerative diseases, are covered.« less
