Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Although there have been a few books that address either electrical coupling or gap junctions, none have focused on the specific roles of electrical coupling in tractable, well-defined circuits. Network Functions and Plasticity highlights current research that offer novel insights for electrical coupling's roles in sensory and motor functions, neural computations, decision making, regulation of network activity, circuit development, and learning and memory. Bringing together a diverse group of international experts and their contributions using a variety of approaches to study different invertebrate and vertebrate model systems with a focus on the role of electrical coupling/gap junctions in microcircuits, this book presents a timely subject for students and researchers alike. . Each chapter will provide an easy to read introduction of neural circuits of the model system. Recent discovery/findings will be presented in the context of historical background. Each chapter will outline outstanding issues/future research in the respective field with a box
