商品簡介
With research in neuroscience making startling discoveries almost daily, and promising even more, culturing cells from nerve tissues has become a science unto itself. Here, eight research teams describe their work in growing different kinds of neurons or glial cells in order to study specific kinds of pathological or physiological events. The resulting papers' topics include hippocampal slice cultures, a protocol for the primary culture of cortical neurons, a new technique to control the architecture of neuronal networks in vitro, organotypic cultures of the rat retina, cerebellar slice cultures, improved methods for culturing rat and mouse motor neurons, and a report on characterizing long-term cultured cell lines of a marine microglia called "MAMI." All papers include their own resources and the editors provide author and subject indices. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
