Preface

The first neurochemist Thudichum, in his early days, defined neurochemistry as the branch of science devoted only to neurochemicals. Over the years this definition lost its identity and researches have moved far beyond from this holistic approach because of the improved technology. This new diversity of technology has given more focus on the emerging disciplines of neuroscience branches like neurophysiology and neuropharmacology. However, the perspective of the neurochemist remains the same as molecules form the foundation from which all the studies of the nervous system emerge. The first edition of “Principles of Neurochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications” emphasizes our belief that the increased knowledge and basics of neurochemistry will ultimately lead to an understanding of the coding experiences that relate to the human behavior and mind. Advances in the field of neurochemistry and flourishing it derive from correlations among neurological events in multiple levels and also encourage fetching new knowledge in the field of neurobiology. This book is a copious set of ten chapters written by eminent academicians, researchers, and scienti
