This collection of state-of-the-art techniques encompasses the breadth of neurochemical and
molecular neurobiology research, ranging from the isolation of neuronal genes and the study of their expression to the analysis of receptor-ligand interactions, to the characterization of the consequences of receptor activation. The methods include electrophysiological techniques to explore the
functional properties of receptors present in the membranes of excitable cells, methods to isolate novel genes central to neurobiological processes, and protocols to perform
in situ hybridization histochemistry. Other methods cover measuring changes in gene expression, the rapid identification of gene…
