Dopaminergic System Function and Dysfunction: Experimental Approaches

This volume provides a variety of technical approaches to study dopamine system function and dysfunction. Chapters guide readers through dopamine releaseinex vivoand freely moving animals, multi-recording devices forin vivosimultaneous single cell and population activity,in silicomodeling of dopamine neurons activity, neuroanatomical approaches, unbiased stereology, ultrastructural analyses of dopaminergic neurons, and axonal innervation. Additionally, chapters also incorporate pharmacological tools to model neuropsychiatric diseases, novel behavioral paradigms to dissect dopamine's role in behavior, and functional imaging to follow human dopamine system development. In theNeuromethodsseries style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Comprehensive and cutting-edge,Dopamine Neurotransmissionaims to be a valuable resource for researchers in various disciplines.
