It revisitssome of the major points covered in Volume 1, updating them in this fast-moving field. It alsointroduces several new issues that have arisen since then. Of the many possible new topics thatcould have been added, the editors have focused on retrograde messengers and the mechanisms andfunctions of LTP and LTD because they are the subject of much interest, research, and controversy.The section on retrograde messengers deals primarily with nitric oxide.
