Synaptic Mechanisms in the Auditory System
Synaptic mechanisms are the groundwork for all auditory processing. Understanding them requires knowledge of the microphysiology of synapses, cellular biophysics, and receptor pharmacology, as well as an appreciation for what unique jobs auditory sy

This volume is dedicated to Professor Alan D. Grinnell, whose career has embodied the twin themes that run through the entire book, the auditory system and the physiology of synapses. Alan, along with his advisor Donald Griffin, was the first to make electrophysiological studies in the bat auditory pathway, work he continued as a faculty member at UCLA. Having also trained with Bernard Katz and Ricardo Miledi, Alan has a genuine love for the synapse, which he has expressed in a parallel research career, producing many creative and elegant studies of the physiology of the neuromuscular junction. This was all accomplished by his enormous energy and amazing breadth of knowledge. Indeed, those fortunate enough to work with him know that Alan is a consummate scholar, a deeply inquisitive scientist, and an excellent friend.

Series Preface
The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of comprehensive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modern auditory research. The volumes are aimed at all individuals with interest in hearing research, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. The volumes are intended to introduce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and to help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in fields of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume presents a particular topic comprehensively, and each serves as a synthetic
