Overview

This two-part book provides the most advanced biochemical and histochemical analytical methods on neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and neuropeptides described by international specialists.

Biochemical Methods

The biochemical methods include liquid chromatography/electrochemistry, liquid chromatography/fluorescence and chemiluminescence detection, gas chromatography or liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, and immunoassays.

Morphological and Physiological Methods

These include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, in vivo microdialysis, electrophysiological analysis, microwave irradiation, micro-anatomical dissection, peptide sequence analysis, quantitative autoradiographic analysis, and isolated CNS preparations.

Neurotransmitters and Neuropeptides

The neurotransmitters and neuropeptides include catecholamines, indoleamines, histamine, polyamines, and various neuropeptides, along with their related enzymes.

Conclusion

The book is the most comprehensive, advanced, and versatile volume on the biochemical, morphological, and physiological analysis of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides.
