Neuronal Polarity: Establishment and Maintenance
The term polarity in a biological context is used to describe an asymmetry in morphology and distribution of molecules. In neurons, their complex shape with typically one axon and several dendrites reflects this asymmetry. Although neurons assume many different shapes and sizes they always maintain these two domains, which are essential for neuronal function. In the most simple view, neurons use their axon to transmit signals over long distances due to its capacity to extend to enormous lengths. Dendrites, on the other hand, are shorter and receive and integrate signals from different locations. The selection of the site where the axon and dendrites initially emerge during embryonic developm...
What Is the Truth About the Great Recession and Increasing Inequality?
Have you ever puzzled over the causes of the 2007–8 financial crisis and wondered how it will affect all our futures? If so, this book is for you. Using imagined dialogue between three economists with contrasting theoretical perspectives and a student who knows little about economics, different interpretations are compared in straightforward, jargon-free language. The book explores both the consequences of neoliberal economic policies based on the belief in efficient, self-regulating markets and the implications of alternative economic visions formulated in response to the Great Recession. In all, nine dialogues are presented, each of which focuses on a key theme: increasing inequality, the failure of economists to predict the crash, the reasons for fiscal austerity, the rolling back of the welfare state, the roles of the state and the market, the repercussions of the German trade surplus and the Eurozone crisis, policies to confront the crisis, environmental degradation, and the need for an industrial policy appropriate to the present day. The book will be ideal for both general readers and those embarking on the study of economics.
The Golgi Apparatus and Centriole
This volume takes a closer look how the cell organelles Golgi apparatus (also known as the Golgi complex or Golgi body), and centriole are structurally and functionally intertwined. Initially, it was believed that the role of Golgi complex is limited to the packaging and preparation for secretion of various cellular proteins, while the centriole participates in cell division and cilia formation. However, since their discovery nearly 200 years ago, it became clear that these two organelles are interacting, and that their functions are much more complex and far reaching than previously thought. Recent findings indicate that the Golgi–Centriole relationship may be important for directional pr...
Neuroscience in the 21st Century
Edited and authored by a wealth of international experts in neuroscience and related disciplines, this key new resource aims to offer medical students and graduate researchers around the world a comprehensive introduction and overview of modern neuroscience. Neuroscience research is certain to prove a vital element in combating mental illness in its various incarnations, a strategic battleground in the future of medicine, as the prevalence of mental disorders is becoming better understood each year. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by mental, behavioral, neurological and substance use disorders. The World Health Organization estimated in 2002 that 154 million people glob...
The Sound Trap
2027: Various groups show interest in an ancient artifact that disappeared in Tibet during the Second World War. According to legend, it was a tool of the gods who ruled the earth long ago. Along the New Silk Road, conflicts have increased since many countries became economically dependent on the Middle Kingdom. At the same time, it is difficult for the Chinese authorities to declare that Western democracies failed while resistance at home is growing. New methods are needed to give ideological orientation. The American Navy recruits Brian Wilson. He is sent to a German naval unit as a trained medium and computer linguist. It soon becomes clear that his assignment is about myths from ancient Asian texts.

Myasthenia Gravis and Related Diseases
This volume of proceedings includes the latest research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of myasthenia gravis and related diseases. It includes reports of progress in the study of the acetylcholine receptor molecule and its function as a ligand-gated ion channel. Further topics include the molecular events involved in presynaptic neurotransmitter release, postsynaptic antigens in autoimmune myasthenia gravis, the immune mechanisms involved in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, and genetically determined abnormalities of neuromuscular transmission.
Language, Mind, and Power
Language is a natural resource: Power and vulnerability are associated with access to language, just as to food and water. In this new book, a linguist and philosopher elucidate why language is so powerful, illuminate its very real social and political implications, and make the case for linguistic equality—equality among languages and equality in access to/knowledge of language and its use—as a human right and tool to prevent violence and oppression. Students and instructors will find this accessible, interdisciplinary text invaluable for courses that explore how language reflects power structures in linguistics, philosophy/ethics, and cognitive science/psychology.
