Intracellular Perfusion of Excitable Cells (Ibro Handbook Series, V. 5)

IBRO Handbook Series: Methods in the Neurosciences, Volume 5 General Editor: A. D. Smith Other Titles of Interest Tracing Neural Connections with Horseradish Peroxidase Edited by M-Marsel Mesulam Neurological Unit, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston This is the first book in the series. One of the two tracers which initiated the recent revolution in neuroanatomical methods, horseradish peroxidase, offers an unusually convenient and powerful method for tracing connections of central neurones, peripheral ganglia, nerves, muscles, skin, viscera, and related structures. The entire applications are covered in this book, and there is a discussion of the relevant biological principles which guide these applications. For readers with no prior experience, there are extensive practical guidelines, while for the seasoned investigator there are detailed sections on background and on the potential for new directions. This handbook will be invaluable to research workers in all areas of the neurosciences, and also to anatomists, physiologists, physiological psychologists, cell biologists, and histochemists. 0 471 10028 5 280 pages 1982 (cloth) 0 471 10029 3 280 pages 1982 (paper) an excellent and useful book, enlightening not only on purely methodological questions but also on general issues concerning the approach to neuroanatomical research problems. Trends in Neuroscience Brain Microdissection Techniques Edited by A. C. Cuello Departments of Pharmacology and Human Anatomy University of Oxford In this second volume in the series, international authorities in the field describe in detail novel and conventional procedures used to microdissect areas or nuclei of the central nervous system of experimental species and human brain. Invaluable reading for research workers in neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology and neurochemistry. 0 471 10523 6 186 pages 1983 (cloth) 0 471 90019 2 186 pages 1983 (paper) covers both microdissection by punch technique of fresh rat brain slices and grid microdissection of human brain areas. The text is logical and acts as a good introduction to methods in neuroscience. Acta Neurol. Scand. Immunohistochemistry Edited by A. C. Cuello Departments of Pharmacology and Human Anatomy University of Oxford In this comprehensive volume, the third in the series, international authorities describe both novel and established immunohistochemical methods, and interpret the results and validity of the various techniques, especially when applied to the investigation of the nervous system. The handbook will be invaluable to research workers in all aspects of neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, pathology, and histopathology. 0 471 10245 8 544 pages 1983 (cloth) 0 471 90052 4 544 pages 1983 (paper) Methods for Neuronal Recording in Conscious Animals Roger Lemon Department of Anatomy Erasmus University, Rotterdam Chapter 7 contributed by Arthur Prochazka Sherrington School of Physiology St Thomass Hospital Medical School This fourth volume in the IBRO series provides a timely review of the important technique of recording from single neurones in conscious, behaving animals. The book combines a theoretical treatment of the basic problems encountered, and their solution, with a detailed analysis of recorded data and its relevance to observed behaviour. It will be of great interest to both new and experienced researchers in neurology, psychology and behavioural science. 0 471 90174 1 162 pages 1984 (cloth) 0 471 90237 3 162 pages 1984 (paper)Kostyuk, Platon G. is the author of 'Intracellular Perfusion of Excitable Cells (Ibro Handbook Series, V. 5)' with ISBN 9780471903925 and ISBN 0471903922.
