Overview

Neurobiology consists of the study of processes across a spectrum of size scales from whole animal to single molecule, and the structure of these two companion volumes reflects this. Cellular Neurobiology covers techniques from basic in vitro maintenance of cells, through perfusion and recording methods, to advanced topics such as optical imaging of ionic activity and mathematical modelling of the properties of excitable membranes. Molecular Neurobiology is principally concerned with understanding the functions of molecules and the resolution of processes at the molecular level. Sections cover characterization and recording of the properties of ionic channels, second messenger systems and molecular biological approaches. The variety of techniques covered will appeal to both the new and the established researcher. Each chapter gives information on basic methods and direct practical assistance in designing and undertaking new experiments. This book is intended for researchers and postgraduates in neuroscience, pharmacology, molecular biology.

Reviews

"""The science community is used to the high quality of the Practical Approach series and these two volumes are well up to these standards. Each chapter is written by a leading group or a leading scientist in the respective field. In both volumes the interested reader finds, where it is appropriate, step-by-step protocols. These protocols give very detailed, to the point, explanations of how to achieve a specific goal."" --Cell Biology International Reports"
