This volume presents classical approaches to in vivo neuropharmacology and neurophysiology
such as c-fos electrochemistry microdialysis microstimulation and push-up superfusion. It
also explores exciting new methods for behavioral analysis and techniques based on
optogenetics and non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging. The chapters of this book cover
topics such as principles of stereotaxy pharmaco-based fMRI and neurophysiology in humans and
non-human primates electrical nerve stimulation and central microstimulation involvement of
neurotransmitters in mnemonic processes the impact of cannabinoids on motor activity as well
as the involvement of nitric oxide in neurotoxicity produced by psychostimulant drugs. Each
chapter also discusses difficulties tips tricks and precautions to take. Neuromethods series
style chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get
successful results in your own laboratory.Cutting-edge and practical In Vivo Neuropharmacology
and Neurophysiology is a valuable resource for experienced and less experienced investigators
of brain function and brain disorders.
