Abstract

The volumes in this series include contemporary techniques significant to a particular branch of neuroscience. They are an invaluable aid to the student as well as the experienced researcher not only in developing protocols in neuroscience but in disciplines where research is becoming closely related to neuroscience. Each volume of Methods in Neurosciences contains an index, and each chapter includes references. Dr. Conn became Editor-in-Chief of the series beginning with Volume 15, so each subsequent volume could be guest-edited by an expert in that specific field. This further strengthens the depth of coverage in Methods in Neurosciences for students and researchers alike.

• Cloning
• Expression systems
• Signal transduction
• Structure-function techniques
• Antireceptor antibodies
• Regulation
• 3-D receptor modeling and computational probing

"Well-written, clear and detailed... The authors do indeed offer the 'fine detail, tricks and short cuts not usually found in the written word." --TRENDS IN NEUROSCIENCES

"When combined with a basic molecular biology lab manual, this edition is a necessary addition for use in current strategies in receptor characterization. I highly recommend this volume for purchase by a bookstore, library, or researcher." --DOODY'S JOURNAL
