General description
Discovering Neurons is a collection of investigative laboratory experiments designed for the advanced undergraduate and the first or second year graduate student. In its three major sections, neurons are studied as: individual cells, including topics such as intracellular recording, immunocytochemistry and HPLC forming connections, with experiments on tract tracing, information coding and LTP, among others as coordinators of behavior, through approaches such as pharmacology, lesioning and ethology.
The fourth section focuses on techniques applicable to several experiments in the collection, including electrophysiology recording, surgery, anesthetics and staining methods. The experiments introduce students to the techniques used in today's leading neuroscience research labs. They have been thoroughly tested in the student laboratory and are written and designed to be easily integrated into existing neuroscience courses of any length or emphasis. This is a unique volume that is an important resource for all teachers of neuroscience.
