In Neuronal Cell Culture: Methods and Protocols, the latest aspects of the culture of neural cells are explored by experts in the field who also explain the practical and theoretical considerations of the techniques involved. Starting with a general...

This volume looks at the framework in which different scientific disciplines are integrated into the latest studies in behavioral neurogenetics, and covers new approaches toward understanding the system that controls behavior across the animal kingdom...

This volume provides a variety of technical approaches to study dopamine system function and dysfunction. Chapters guide readers through dopamine release in ex vivo and freely moving animals, multi-recording devices for in vivo simultaneous single cell...

This volume covers comprehensive methods on ways to assess structural and ultrastructural changes in the mitochondria, cytoskeleton, and microglia using state-of-the-art microscopy techniques including super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, and...

The brain regions and neuronal processes that underlie addiction extensively overlap with those needed for cognitive functions, including learning, memory, and reasoning. Addiction worsens cognitive functions, making it more challenging to maintain...

Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications is a comprehensive review of mechanisms and analysis of methods of functional connectivity to map brain organization in healthy individuals and sick patients. Providing...

Developmental Dyscalculia: From Brain Mechanisms to Educational Applications presents research with a domain-general approach. It examines issues in the fields of numerical and non-numerical cognitive domains, neuro- mechanisms, and pedagogic issues to...

Auditory Cerebellum: Function and Dysfunction focusses on sensory and cognitive aspects of the cerebellum with an emphasis on hearing, speech, music, speaking and singing, aspects of cerebellar. This book fills the gap for information needed in audiology...

Brains as Engines of Association tackles a fundamental question in neuroscience: what is the operating principle of the human brain? While a similar question has been asked and answered for virtually every other human organ during the last few...
