Description
For a thorough study of the dynamics of particular brain compounds it is now possible to use and combine various molecular neuroanatomical methods (e.g. in situ hybridization, receptor localisation and immunocytochemistry) in a quantitative way on whole brain sections maintaining morphological details. Molecular Neuroanatomy deals with the many practical aspects and recent developments in these areas. The theoretical background of many techniques is presented, as well as clear, step-by-step instructions on the preparation and application of all the methods and techniques described in this book. It will be invaluable to all those working in the field of neuroscience. Available in both hardback and paperback, with colour illustrations.
