Abstract excerpt
Survival demands adaptation to changes in the environment, and some of the most important adaptations are accomplished by the nervous system. Adaptive processes such as learning and memory are mediated by complex intracellular adjustments that result, at least in part, from changes in the levels of certain proteins. The involvement of neurotransmitters in the regulation of protein biosynthesis has recently become...
