Description
Although most often considered in terms of the generation of action potentials, there are several other electrical, metabolic and ionic correlates of neuronal activity. This book draws together, in a single volume, ten different facets of the activity of nerve cells. There are chapters on the monitoring of extra-cellular unit activity, intracellular voltage and current clamping, patch clamping, video-imaging, in vivo voltammetry, intracerebral dialysis, antibody microprobes, 2-deoxyglucose uptake, intracellular fluorescence and ion-selective electrodes. The techniques described range from the well-established to the experimental. In each case the chapters include up-to-date information, methodological tips and detailed protocols allowing the reader to follow each method in a stepwise fashion. The wide range of techniques in the book should be of interest to neuroscientists, whether concerned with traditional or novel indices on neuronal function.
