The cutting-edge techniques detailed here include those that are particularly popular in
multidisciplinary neuroscience research. There are readily reproducible methods for
establishing neural cell cultures measuring enzymes and their inhibitors and using
quantitative autoradiography to study monoamine uptake sites and receptors in the brain.
Additional methods cover the use of flow cytometry to study developmental neurobiology
applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to human brain metabolism and the study
of drug metabolism. Together with its companion volumes In Vivo Neuromethods and In Vitro
Neurochemical Techniques all three cutting-edge works will prove exceptionally useful to those
basic and clinical neuroscientists who want to expand the range of their current research or
develop competence in complementary methods.
