This volume looks at the latest methodological developments used in the field to investigate the synaptic organization of the brain from different viewpoints including structural, structural/functional, molecular, and computational methods. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts and cover topics such as preparation of brain tissue and techniques; connectivity; synaptic vesicles; phenomenological modeling; and dendritic spines. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Authoritative and thorough, New Aspects in Analyzing the Synaptic Organization of the Brain is a valuable resource that will help students, post-docs, and even expert researchers learn more about the discipline of cellular and synaptic neuroscience.
