Description
Microdialysis is currently one of the most important in vivo sampling methods in physiology and pharmacology. It is used to determine
the chemical components of the fluid in the extracellular space of tissues. The technique is now well established in neuroscience research
and is used excessively in behavioral neuroscience to determine the concentrations and identities of molecules in brain tissues, and
their change due to behavior, hormonal and transmitter changes in the nervous system. The book provides a detailed comprehensive overview
of the technology and its applications, including application in pathology, drug development, and the application in the clinic. The
authors are all well known researchers in Neuroscience and experts in the use of Microdialysis.
Organized into two parts of seven
sections, the
Handbook of Microdialysis critically examines recent developments in the field through a variety of chapters
written by an internationally acclaimed group of authors. It is the first comprehensive handbook covering the technology of Microdialysis
and its applications in Neuroscience.
Included in series
Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience
Audience:
Graduate, post-doc students and researchers in neurobiology, neurochemistry, and neuropharmacology.
