Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience

Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience, Third Edition is a reference that provides a diverse spectrum of neuroscience techniques, their execution, and the benefits and limitations of each method. It is essential for PIs and experienced researchers who want to expand their technical expertise, and even more crucial for new researchers, students, and post-docs. A number of substantial changes have occurred in the field since the inception of the first and second editions of this book. Many new techniques, including in vivo calcium imaging, fiber photometry, microendoscopy, and of course, genome engineering via CRISPR-Cas9, are now much more prominent and discussed in detail in this new third edition. In addition, every chapter and multiple figures have been updated, ensuring the book is the most accurate reflection of the current state of the field. It is a must-buy for any neuroscientist. Provides a "hands-on" approach for graduate students, postdocs, or anyone new to neuroscience Expands on techniques in previous editions, and covers many new techniques developed since, including in vivo calcium imaging, fiber photometry, and microendoscopy Features a new section on genome engineering via CRISPR-Cas9 Incorporates updates to every chapter and multiple figures Walk-through boxes guide readers step-by-step through experiments Includes sections on cultured brain spheroids, tissue clearing, and Drop-Seq Presents the most accurate reflection of the current state of the neuroscience field
