Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience

Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience, Third Edition, 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, making it even more crucial for new researchers, students, and postdocs. 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 edition. In addition, multiple illustrations and figures have been updated, ensuring the book is the most current reflection of the field.. 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. Includes walk-through boxes that guide readers step-by-step through experiments. Covers cultured brain spheroids, tissue clearing, and Drop-Seq. Presents the most accurate reflection of the current state of the neuroscience field.
