Ionic Actions on Vascular Smooth Muscle with Special Regard to Brain Vessels

This book contains the contributions and discussions of the second symposium on vascular smooth muscles held in Ttibingen in February, 1976. It provides an up-to-date review of the role of ions in the trans­ mission of signals from the perivascular space to the contractile ele­ ments of the smooth m...
