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.
SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
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 been selected from among the leading experts in their field of research.
