The volumes in this series include contemporary techniques significant to a particular branch of neuroscience.
They are an invaluable aid to the student as well as the experienced researcher not only in developing protocols
in neuroscience but in disciplines where research is becoming closely related to neuroscience. Each volume of Methods
in Neurosciences contains an index, and each chapter includes references. Dr. Conn became Editor-in-Chief of the
series beginning with Volume 15, so each subsequent volume could be guest-edited by an expert in that specific
field. This further strengthens the depth of coverage in Methods in Neurosciences for students and researchers
alike.
Research on receptor molecular biology has entered the transition to the postcloning era. Receptor sequences are
rapidly being elucidated and these successes have opened up important new avenues for investigation. While encompassing
cloning methodologies, the contributions to this volume emphasize the emerging techniques critical to the study
of cloned receptors.
