Special Lecture・II NEUROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SUBCELLULAR FRACTIONS OF THE BRAIN

　Modern neurobiology has recognized the importance of an integrated study of the chemical and structural organization of the nervous tissue. This concept has emerged, among other facts, from its high degree of functional complexity brain and the extraordinary cellular and subcellular compartmentalization demonstrated by electron microscopy. The need for such a correlation becomes more stringent for some of the more specific neuronal functions such asthat of the biosynthesis and release of transmitter substances at the synaptic endings.
