Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience

摘要: Neuroscience is by definition a multidisciplinary field: some scientists study genes and proteins at the molecular level while others neural circuitry. A single topic such as auditory system can be studied using techniques from genetics, imaging, biochemistry, or electrophysiology. young scientist must learn how to read primary literature then develop their own experiments. This book offers that an overview of mainstream research techniques, provides guidelines on choose one technique over another, tips analyzing data, list references for additional detailed study. also assist experienced understand published studies conducted outside subfield. It written Stanford University graduate students in neuroscience provide 'hands-on' approach other students. In this book, within field will compared so user select best experiment. Its chapters include (key articles, books, protocols) The features Data Analysis boxes each chapter help with data interpretation offer represent results. 'Walk-through' guide through experiment step-by-step are included.
