Neurobiology of TRP channels will review the current knowledge on how these important proteins participate in physiological and pathophysiological processes. The book is planned to include chapters by experts on the role of TRP channels in the peripheral and central nervous system including vision (both in flies and in vertebrates), olfaction, mechanotransduction, pain and thermosensation as well as their roles in the gut, heart, kidney, germinal cells, skin and also in longevity, providing us with a global picture of the most recent findings on the importance of these ion channels in the context of their role in a vast variety of physiological functions.

Über Autor(innen)

Tamara Rosenbaum obtained her B.Sc in Biology and then her Doctorate Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). After her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Sharona Gordon at the University of Washington, she established her own lab in the Instituto de Fisiología Celular at UNAM in late 2004. Since then she has worked on the structure-function relationships of the TRPV1 channel.
