چکیده
Brain. Europe, always slower to move on such matters, has just belatedly started its own such Decade. And we are even further into the massive international $3 billion-odd exercise known as the Human Genome Programme, the attempt to map, and subsequently to sequence, the entire DNA alphabet of the human chromosomes. (Identifying just what these DNA strands might do, what the genes might mean, is, as will become clear, a rather different matter, though often elided in popular consciousness.) For a neuroscientist like myself, it is an incredibly exciting time to be in the lab, at the computer or in the library. New results come flooding

متن کاملCatecholamine phenotyping: clues to the diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of neurogenetic disorders.
One purpose of clinical neurochemistry has been to indicate "activities" of catecholamine systems, by assaying levels of the effector compounds or their metabolites in body fluids such as plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, or microdialysate. This review discusses a new purpose: relating specific catecholaminergic phenotypes to neurogenetic disorders. Distinctive catecholamine patterns in sever...
