Humana Visualization Techniques: From Immunohistochemistry to Magnetic Resonance Imaging: 70 (Neuromethods, 70)

This exploration of topics from immunohistochemistry for multiple neurochemicals covers a range of vital techniques from detecting expression levels of neurochemicals, to identifying polysynaptic pathways and recognizing functional changes in vivo. Review From the reviews:“This is an excellent overview of advances in visualization techniques in neuroscience, particularly at the molecular level. The book is written for neuroscientists, basic neuroresearchers, and students of medical science. It is also appropriate for clinical and academic specialists in neurobiology, neuropharmacology, neurology, neuro-oncology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery. … It is an inspiration for investigators interested in furthering their knowledge of the visualization of the nervous system not only in its entirety, but also at the neuronal level.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2012) From the Back Cover Visualization of chemicals in tissues has seen incredible advances in the past several years. Visualization Techniques: From Immunohistochemistry to Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides practical advice from experts in the field as well as an excellent overview of some of the most important recent advances in visualization.  This timely volume explores topics from immunohistochemistry for multiple neurochemicals, detecting expression levels of neurochemicals, following cellular processes and ionic movement, identifying polysynaptic pathways subserving physiological responses to identifying functional changes in vivo. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, this work includes the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results in the lab.  Meticulous and concise, Visualization Techniques: From Immunohistochemistry to Magnetic Resonance Imaging will prove invaluable for scientists seeking to gain a greater understanding of the practical skills, strengths, and pitfalls that these wonderful and exciting visualization techniques provide.
