This volume investigates the physiological and structural mechanisms that govern inhibitory processes within the nervous system. Edited by Curt von Euler, the text compiles research presented at a Wenner-Gren Center international symposium. It synthesizes findings from various neurobiological disciplines to clarify how inhibitory neurons regulate signal transmission and neural circuit stability.

Experts recognize this volume as a specialized record of foundational research in neurophysiology. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for researchers and advanced students in the field of neuroscience.
