Cyclic Nucleotides in the Nervous System

The book delves into the complexities of understanding the central nervous system's cellular and molecular functions, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists from biology to psychology. It highlights the challenges posed by increasing specialization and the overwhelming volume of brain research publications, which hinder effective communication. The significance of cyclic nucleotides in nervous system function serves as a key example of this communication issue, showcasing the rapid growth of relevant literature since the foundational studies in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
