  • Handbook of Neurochemistry
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    This volume is concerned with the enzymes of the nervous system. Cerebral enzymes form the basis of the functional brain. They are needed for the control of the energetics of the nervous system, whether it be their release or their direction; for the elaboration of transmitters and for their destruction; for the synthesis, transport, and breakdown of ...

  • Structural Neurochemistry
    Abel Lajtha
    That chemicals (although not always called by this name) affect the brain and its functions, such as behavior, has been known for thousands of years. It is therefore surprising that the concept that chemical mechanisms are at least partially responsible for the complex functions of the brain is so recent. Investigation of the closely interlinked bioph...

  • Chemical and Cellular Architecture
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    After the completion of the first edition of this series, this editor thought that a new edition would not be warranted in less than IS, perhaps 20, years, but it seems that we live in a time in which rapid changes are the norm and findings in a field such as neurochemistry develop exponentially. The task of a future editor attempting to get a compreh...

  • Chemical Architecture of the Nervous System
    Abel Lajtha
    Life, either as we think of it in the abstract in its highest sense, or life, as we think of it in terms of a compact living organism, is obviously the result of complex interaction of all of the components of the organism. One could therefore question the advisability of separating out the nervous system for a special detailed study in our age of ove...

  • Metabolic Reactions in the Nervous System
    Abel Lajtha
    When the projected volumes of the Handbook are completed, most of our current knowledge of the biochemistry of nervous systems will have been touched upon. A number of the chapters will have dealt with the correlations of the biochemical findings with morphological and physio­ logical parameters as well. Considering the abysmal lack of such attempts, ...

  • Alterations of Chemical Equilibrium in the Nervous System
    Abel Lajtha
    It has been recognized for more than a thousand years that the function of the brain, like the function of the other organs of the body, is determined by its physical, chemical, and biological properties. Evidence that even its highest functions could be explained by these properties was gathered only in recent years, however; these findings, which cl...

  • Neurochemical Systems
    Abel Lajtha / N. S. Abel Lajtha
    The content of Volume 8 of the Handbook of Neurochemistry is a perfect example and sample of what occupies neurochemists in the late 1980s. What occupies them are questions, concepts, and technology that either did not start with the nervous system, or rapidly moved out of its exclusivity (see, for in­ stance, chapters on neurotensin, beta-lipotropin,...

  • Experimental Neurochemistry
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    The second volume of the Handbook does not parallel any volume of the first edition; it is one more sign, or reflection, of the expansion of the field. By emphasizing the experimental approach, it illustrates the tools that have re­ cently become available for investigating the nervous system. Also, perhaps even more than other volumes, it illustrates...

  • Metabolism in the Nervous System
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    This volume is concerned with metabolic reactions occurring in the nervous system. Some time ago, it was thought that since most of the intermediary metabolism that can be observed in the brain is not specific to this organ, there is little justification in studying neural metabolism as such. Later it was realized that for an understanding of neural f...

  • Structural Elements of the Nervous System
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    Neurochemistry, having the objective of elucidating biochemical processes subserving nervous activity, emerged as an application of chemistry to the of neurobiological problems as a post-World War II phenomenon. investigation However, only in the last 40 years has the chemical community recognized neurochemistry as a distinct, if hybrid, discipline. D...

  • Pathological Neurochemistry
    Abel Lajtha
    More than for any other volume of the Handbook of Neurochemistry, the chap­ ters in this volume on Pathological Neurochemistry deal with the interface of the laboratory bench with the patient’s bedside. Most of the chapters reflect the confluence of basic scientists, clinical investigators, and physicians. Con­ sidered here are many of the more import...

  • Protein Metabolism of the Nervous System
    N.S. Abel Lajtha
    Few can deny the paramount importance of the neurosciences, undoubtedly one of the most challenging fields in contemporary science. Recent years have witnessed the awakening of interest in brain research by many dis­ tinguished investigators from other branches of science, which has made possible the multidisciplinary approach needed for the complex p...
