Auditory and Vestibular Research: Methods and Protocols / Edition 2

by Bernd Sokolowski

Overview

This second edition expands upon the previous volume with new and updated chapters. Auditory and Vestibular Research: Methods and Prools, Second Edition guides readers through prools on cell culture, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, high-throughput screening, and physiology. Chapters on physiology cover techniques that include optical coherence tomography, patch clamping, and photostimulation of caged neurotransmitters. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Auditory and Vestibular Research: Methods and Prools, Second Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
