Functional Neuroanatomy of the Nitric Oxide System (Handbook of Chemical
Neuroanatomy)

By H.W.M. Steinbusch, J. de Vente, S.R. Vincent

Product Description:



This volume of the Handbook of Neuroanatomy is concerned with nitric
oxide synthase. In this volume different research areas are presented
together, which adds up to the first major review volume on the
localization of nitric oxide synthase in the nervous system. The
subjects range from developmental aspects in vertebrates to a functional
neuroanatomy of the nervous system in vertebrates. This presentation
gives an impressive look on the overwhelming presence of NOS in animal
organism and the significance of NO - cGMP signaling. By clearly stating
the limitations of our present knowledge the book is also a stimulant
for further research.



This book presents for the first time an overview of NOS and NO-cGMP
signaling in the retina and urogenital system. In addition the effects
if injuries on the expression of NOS are summarized in a number of
models, which has not been done before.



The frame of the book is a classical neuroanatomic description of the
localization of NOS. Several authors give detailed advice to prevent
pitfalls which may occur when different methods to locate NOS are used.
In addition, several chapters detail the target structures for NO while
describing the localization of NOS at the same time.



All these points together make this volume very timely, i.e. overviewing
a decade of NO research.
