Towards More Implications of Biochemistry in Neuroscience

Abstract

Editorialzymes, biomolecules, and ions. These elements play important role in the physiology and the biology of the nervous system and the neurons; including energy transfer, neurotransmitters synthesis and degradation, cell death and membranes potential. In addition biochemistry can explain the effects chemical can have on neurons too [7]. Importantly, biochemistry also describes metabotropic receptors of the nervous system, such as the G protein coupled receptors [8], that play important roles in both neurophysiology [9] and neuropharmacology [10]. Furthermore, biochemistry governs biological events related to field such as genetic (gene expression) and proteomics that are closely related to the well-functioning of the nervous system as well.Such concepts, if put within the adequate context, would surely strengthen our knowledge about neuroscience and provide fruitful details to understand neurological functioning, develop therapies (based on both biochemistry and pharmacology [11][12][13]), build animal models of neurological disease [14,15] such as Alzheimer's disease [16,18] and Parkinson disease [19].
