The manual is organized into eight sections that are roughly ordered according to spatial level of neural organization. Section 1 introduces molecular tools for labeling receptors and cells and for optical readout and control of neural activity. In Section 2 these tools are applied to the study of axonal propagation of excitation and synaptic transmission. Section 3 focuses on the integration of synaptic inputs in neuronal dendrites. Sections 4 and 5 provide tools for investigating functional properties of neurons and neural circuits in brain slice preparations (in vitro) and in living animals (in vivo), respectively. Section 6 looks at the dynamic properties of various glial cells, an important area of neuroscience. Section 7 presents new methods for performing high-resolution imaging studies of the brain during behavior. Finally, Section 8 provides examples of imaging studies in various animal models of disease.
Imaging In Neuroscience A Laboratory Manual Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Imaging Fritjof
###This new manual is the third volume in the imaging series that began with Imaging: A Laboratory Manual( ), released last November, followed by Imaging in Developmental Biology: A Laboratory Manual( ), released in January 2011. The series audience includes students and researchers interested in imaging in neuroscience, developmental biology, or cell biology. These manuals are designed for use at the bench. Thus, they include fundamental background information, detailed protocols clearly presented, and, most importantly, they pass along the tidbits of technical knowledge that make a particular technique or an experiment work. 2ff7e9595c
