Description

The complexity and cellular heterogeneity of the vertebrate nervous system makes it difficult to study neural processes at the cellular and molecular levels. The establishment of cell culture model systems for almost every region and cell type in the nervous system has therefore been crucial in facilitating such studies and in heralding some key breakthroughs in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Neural Cell Culture: A Practical Approach brings together methods for preparing cultures from a diverse range of neural tissues and cells, from both the central and peripheral nervous systems of mammalian and avain species. Important features of this volume are the clearly illustrated dissection guides accompanying each chapter, methods for enriching and purifying distinct cell types, and guidance on optimizing cell viability and growth. Each chapter includes valuable step-by-step protocols, hints, and tips for success, advice, and background information. This book is intended for research scientists in basic and clinical neuroscience and neurology. Pharmaceutical company research and development staff. Post graduates of neuroscience, neurology, and cell biology.
