Other editions of book Experimental Neuroanatomy: A Practical Approach

A dramatic increase in the number of practical techniques available to the experimental neuroanatomist over the past decade has led to major advances in the knowledge and understanding of the nervous system. This book is an essential laboratory manual for experimental neuroscientists, with an emphasis on ultrastructural analysis. It contains detailed protocols for the preparation of specimens, perfusion-fixation, and the preparation of sections for light and electron microscopy. It covers up-to-date neuroanatomical techniques including procedures for tract-tracing and chemical characterization of neurons and their processes. These procedures, either alone or in combination, are being widely used to elucidate complex neuronal interactions. Experimental Neuroanatomy" A Practical Approach is an invaluable text for neuroanatomists and other neuroscientists who wish to apply these fascinating techniques.
