Neuroscientists need to stay informed about new technological and technical developments. Such developments, when applied in the laboratory, will improve the quality of current reasearch and may also open new avenues of research and research perspectives. New and improved techniques are developed every year, and some are published in a number of different, often specialized journals and books. lt is very difficult for the neuroscientist to survey, access and collate information on available techniques and protocols. Books become outdated soon after publication and joumals are not usually available at the laboratory bench. To help you keep track of, and updated on, new techniques, and to support their rapid and accurate implementation in the laboratory, Elsevier Science has published "Neuroscience Protocols". This new laboratory manual provides protocols of new and established techniques used in neuroscience. Morphological, cellular, molecular, physiological, developmental, quantitive, behavioural and immunological methods that pertain to neuroscience are covered in different sections of "Neuroscience Protocols".
The protocols are supplied in a loose-leaf format, with a ring binder, so that you will be able to take out the protocol you require in your laboratory. The loose-leaf format rnakes it simple for you to add this newest protocols module. You are also invited to submit your own protocols to the Managing Editor, Dr Floris Wouterlood, or to any member of the Editorial Board. The submitted protocols will initially be reviewed by two independent reviewers and published, after positive review, in one of the subsequent volumes. An electronic version of Elsevier's "Neurosciences Protocols" is in preparation and will be available for both the PC (MS-DOS/ Windows 3.X) and Macintosh, early 1994.
