<p><P>Immediate early genes (IEGs) are a class of genes that are rapidly expressed without new protein synthesis and, in most cases, in direct response to synaptic input. The most widely studied IEGs in neurobiology encode transcription factors, with two popular examples being <EM>c-fos</EM> and NGF

โฆ Synopsis
This book provides a compilation of the most up-to-date literature on the topic of immediate early genes (IEGs). It reviews and details experiments and theories that challenge the reader to expand their view on how IEG research is currently being used to advance our understanding of static and active brain circuits. In addition, the book explores roles of IEGs in clinical neuropathology.
