Touting the usefulness of electrochemical methods of analysis for understanding the role of specific neurotransmitters in normal brain function and the pathophysiology of central nervous system disorders Nervous system disorders

A satisfactory classification of diseases of the nervous system should include not only the type of reaction (congenital malformation, infection, trauma, neoplasm, vascular diseases, and degenerative, metabolic, toxic, or deficiency
, the editors (both of the U. of Pittsburgh) present these 22 chapters as an updated sampling of the fundamental aspects and current state of the art applications. Examples of topics covered include presynaptic presynaptic /pre·syn·ap·tic/ (-si-nap´tik) situated or occurring proximal to a synapse.

pre·syn·ap·tic
adj.
Relating to the area on the proximal side of a synaptic gap.
