This second edition expands on the previous volume by incorporating state-of-the-art electrophysiological and anatomical methods and their application to the study of several systems of the brain involved in a range of functions. Chapters in this edition cover topics such as the value and difficulty of multi-site recordings using depth or surface electrodes; an assessment of different electrophysiological techniques used in non-human animals and humans; applying single-unit and ensemble recordings to the study of temporal dynamics in cognition; approaches to electroencephalography (EEG) recordings applied to mouse research; recordings of the nucleus reuniens of the ventral midline thalamus; and a comprehensive account of intracranial electroencephalography performed in patients with drug resistant epilepsy. In the series style, chapters include the type of detail and key advice from specialists needed to obtain successful results in your laboratory.  Comprehensive and thorough, is a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians to help them utilize the principles and research designs described herein in their programs.   weiterlesen
