Gene expression converts the information coded by our genes into proteins. These determine the structure and function of an organ such as the brain. It is therefore an essential process, linking molecular genetics with neurochemistry and behavioural neuroscience. This volume presents a didactic approach to the understanding of the basic processes of gene expression and their involvement in certain brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. Generously illustrated, the contributions provide a valuable outline of this key aspect of molecular neurobiology and clinical neuroscience.
