Neural Cell Culture

Sixteen chapters provide detailed methodological protocols on how to culture different types of neural tissue ... These chapters have been written by experts who have extensive experience with the methods in their own laboratories; hence, they typically reflect the product of years of experience with variants of the protocols described. The book is very accessible and easy to use. It is well organized, and indexed ... Nothing teaches like experience, and at least this book will give you some ideas about the experience of others that will help to guide your progress. For the neuroscientist engaged in neural cell culture this manual may be useful as a general reference, and for anyone who has immediate need for a particular chapter, this manual could indeed prove a very helpful resource. * R.E.
