The
efficient delivery of cellular constituents to their proper location is of
fundamental importance for all cells and is of particular interest to
neuroscientists, because of the unique functions and complex architecture of
neurons. Protein Trafficking in Neurons examines mechanisms of protein trafficking and the
role of trafficking in neuronal functioning from development to plasticity to
disease. The book is divided into seven sections that review mechanisms of
protein transport, the role of protein trafficking in synapse formation, exo-
and endocytosis, transport of receptors, trafficking of ion channels and
transporters, comparison of trafficking mechanisms in neuronal vs. non-neuronal
cell types, and the relationship between trafficking and neuronal diseases such
as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Prion Diseases.
