Immediate-early genes in the central nervous system

The various chapters of this book provide a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of current methodology in the research of immediate-early genes and include a wide range of neurobiological topics, such as regeneration, memory formation, epilepsia and nociception. The contributors to this book have bee...

Table of Contents:
  • Immediate-early genes - how immmediate and why early?Immediate-early gene activation as a window on mechanism in the nervous system
  • Differential expression of immediate-early genes during synaptic plasticity, seizures and brain injury suggests specific functions for these molecules in brain neurons
  • Immediate-early genes in nociception
  • A novel face of immediate-early genes: transcriptional operations dominated by c-Jun and Jun D proteins in neurons following axotomy and during regenerative efforts
  • Immediate-early genes and opioid peptides
  • Transgenic mice studies of immediate-early genes: from markers to mutants
  • Complementary expression patterns of c-jun and jun B in rat brain and analysis of their function with antisense oligonucleotides
  • Characterization and expression of relB, a new member of the rel/NF-?B family of transcription factors.
