Imaging in neuroscience

As Imaging Technologies Have Revolutionized research in many areas of biology and medicine, neuroscientists have often pioneered the use of these new visualization techniques. Imaging in Neuroscience: A Laboratory Manual, part of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press' Imaging series, provides the definitive collection of methods in use in this groundbreaking field. With more than 90 chapters, the manual offers a depth of coverage unavailable from any other source. Imaging in Neuroscience: A Laboratory Manual is organized into eight sections. The manual also features a set of appendices with a glossary of imaging terms and other useful information on spectra, lenses, filters, and the safe handling of imaging equipment. Protocols range from basic techniques such as maintaining live cells and tissue slices during imaging to recent breakthroughs in optogenetics, uncaging, calcium imaging, and imaging neuronal activity. Imaging in Neuroscience: A Laboratory Manual is an essential guide to discovering and implementing these techniques in the neuroscience laboratory. --Book Jacket.
