Actions of metals on membrane channels, calcium homeostasis and synaptic plasticity
This report gives a short overview of the actions of different metals on membrane currents, calcium homeostasis and higher neuronal functions like the long-term potentiation. The results focus on experiments conducted over the last decade. Due to the impo

Preface
In recent years, a number of books devoted to various aspects oftrace metaI speciation and analysis have been published. For organometal(loid) and alkylated metal(loid) compounds in particular, the rapid progress in the field of speciation becomes evident when the second edition of Craig' s Organometallic Compounds in the Environment (l. Wiley & Sons, 2003) is compared with the first edition published in 1986. The growing number of publications in the environmental and life sciences concerned with the biogeochemical cycling and the toxicity of metal(loid)s indicates the increasing awareness that reliable data on the occurrence, reactions, and fate of such species are needed. In the course of the international Workshop on Organometallics in the Environment at the University of Essen in 2002, it was proposed to publish the workshop proceedings supplemented with additional data in form of a book. The wi
