Produktbeschreibung

"The content of the book also serves to emphasize that neuroanatomy is, perhaps more than ever, a thriving and important part of the neurosciences...Most contributions have in common the combination of modern tract-tracing methods with other means of characterizing neural tissue, and thus the book also serves to highlight the gradual disappearance of borders between traditional neuroanatomy and other approaches to the study of the nervous system...this book should continue to be a useful source of information, and deserves to be available in all laboratories applying or considering to apply neuroanatomical methods."

Autorenporträt

The first two editions of this title had a tremendous impact in neuroscience. Between the previous edition in 1989 and today, there has been an explosion of information in the field. These include advances in molecular techniques, such as genomics and proteomics, which have become increasing important in neuroscience. A renaissance in fluorescence has occurred, driven by the development of new probes, new microscopes, live imagers, and computer processing. The introduction of new markers has enormously stimulated the field, moving it from tissue culture to neurophysiology to functional MRI techniques.
As with previous editions, this new edition will be welcomed by the graduate students working in the lab who needs fast, complete, up-to-date, and immediately applicable information about techniques, written by acknowledged experts in the field.
