Author: Matt Carter, Jennifer Shieh Full Title: Guide To Research Techniques In Neuroscience, 2nd Edition Publisher: Academic Press; 2 edition (March 16, 2015) Year: 2015 ISBN-13: 9780128005972 (978-0-12-800597-2), 9780128005118 (978-0-12-800511-8) ISBN-10: 0128005971, 0128005114 Pages: 418 Language: English Genre: Life Sciences: Neuroscience: Neurology File type: PDF (True, but nonnative Cover) Quality: 9/10 Price: $74.95 Neuroscience is, by definition, a multidisciplinary field: some scientists study genes and proteins at the molecular level while others study neural circuitry using electrophysiology and high-resolution optics. A single topic can be studied using techniques from genetics, imaging, biochemistry, or electrophysiology. Therefore, it can be daunting for young scientists or anyone new to neuroscience to learn how to read the primary literature and develop their own experiments. This volume addresses that gap, gathering multidisciplinary knowledge and providing tools for understanding the neuroscience techniques that are essential to the field, and allowing the reader to design experiments in a variety of neuroscience disciplines. Key Features: ✓ Written to provide a "hands-on" approach for graduate students, postdocs, or anyone new to the neurosciences ✓ Techniques within one field are compared, allowing readers to select the best techniques for their own work ✓ Includes key articles, books, and protocols for additional detailed study ✓ Data analysis boxes in each chapter help with data interpretation and offer guidelines on how best to represent results ✓ Walk-through boxes guide readers step-by-step through experiments Readership: Neuroscience graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, experienced researchers new to neuroscience, and senior researchers who want technique updates. ------------- Our members see more.
