前言
什么是百科全书?这一名词来自于两个希腊单词:enkuklios(意思是循环的)和paideia(意思是教育)。在16世纪早期,拉丁手稿的抄写者们将这两个单词合而为一,其在英语中演化为一个单词,意思是具有广泛指导意义的工具书(The American Heritage Dictionary,2000,Boston:Houghton Mifflin,p.589)。从其来源可见,其希腊文原词中蕴含着以探索、综合的方式努力获取知识的含义。无论是拉丁文还是英文,该单词泛指涵盖广泛领域知识的工具书。希腊文中强调的以创造性手段获取知识,在神经科学领域尤其适用。神经科学本身就是一个非常新的名词。Francis Schmitt在本书第一版的前言中指出,本书的编写过程就是将不同领域的科学家们聚集在一起,冲击大脑研究中最顽固的难题。他推动建立了神经科学研究项目(Neuroscience Research。Program,简称NRP)。早期的NIRP成员包括一些学术巨匠,如因关于光合作用的研究获得诺贝尔奖的Melvin Calvin、诺贝尔奖获得者物理化学家Manfred:Eigen、生物化学家Alberc Lehninger,和当时正在努力破解基因编码的年轻分子生物学家Marshall Nirenberg。Schmitt建立NRP的时候,神经科学作为一门综合学科还几乎不存在。微电极的发明使神经生理学家们得以记录单细胞的电活动,但是几乎不可能甄别其生物化学特性。一个重要的推进来自20世纪60年代中期涌现的Falck-Hillarp荧光显微镜技术,它能够选择性地观察儿茶酚胺和5.羟色胺能神经元。这些胺类通路的研究又很快使得检测选择性损伤后效应的行为学家们和生化学家们开始合作研究,使得后者的工作不再局限于在整个脑组织匀浆的水平研究神经递质。20世纪70年代关于神经递质受体的生化研究、它们位点的放射自显影研究,以及神经多肽的免疫组织化学研究,更是进一步促进了神经生理学家、神经解剖学家、神经化学家和神经药理学家们的对话。而过去两个世纪以来,分子生物学技术手段的应用更加丰富了这一交流。

章节摘录
插图:The autonomic neuromuscular junction differs in sev-eral important respects from the better known skele-tal neuromuscular junction; it is not a synapse withthe well-defined prejunctional and postjunctionalspecializations established for the skeletal neuromus-cular synapse or ganglionic synapses. A model of theautonomic neuroeffector junction has been proposedon the basis of combined electrophysiologic, histo-chemical, and electron-microscopical studies. Theessential features of this model are that the terminalportions of autonomic nerve fibers are varicose,transmitters being released en passage from varicos-ities during conduction of an impulse, although excit-atory and inhibitory junction potentials are probablyelicited only at close junctions. Furthermore, theeffectors are muscle bundles rather than single smoothmuscle cells and are connected by low-resistancepathways (gap junctions) that allow electrotonicspread of activity within the effector bundle. Inblood vessels, the nerves are confined to the adventi-tial side of the media muscle coat, and this geometryappears to facilitate dual control of vascular smoothmuscle by perivascular nerves and by endothelialrelaxing and contracting factors. Neuroeffector junc-tions do not have a permanent geometry with post-junctional specializations, but rather the varicositiesare continuously moving, and their special relationwith muscle cell membranes changes with time,including dispersal and reformation of receptor clus-ters. For example, varicosity movement is likely tooccur in cerebral blood arteries, where there is acontinuously increasing density of sympathetic inner-vation during development and aging and in hyper-tensive vessels or those that have been stimulatedchronically in vivo, where there can be an increasein innervation density of up to threefold.
