Book excerpt: At last … a collection of practical protocols for explanting and manipulating neuronal and glial cells. A Dissection and Tissue Culture Manual of the Nervous System Abraham Shahar, Jean de Vellis, Antonia Vernadakis, and Bernard Haber, Editors Among research laboratories involved with neuronal and glial cell cultures and their applications, there is a growing demand for a hand-book describing dissection procedures, culture preparation techniques, and the in vitro manipulation of neural cells and tissues for specific analytical purposes. A Dissection and Tissue Culture Manual of the Nervous System offers a diverse collection of methods that have been developed by and are used routinely within specialized neurobiological laboratories. Written in an easy-to-follow style, the procedures described in this unique guide are designed by experts to be applied by those with limited experience in the field. Organized into ten comprehensive sections, ninety concise contributions from leading laboratories worldwide put forth practical, stepwise protocols for neural cell manipulation and experimentation. Methods encompass: an illustrated outline of techniques for the dissection of brain areas in the fetus and the neonate the dissection of selected specialized structures, such as the ciliary ganglion organotypic. explant culture of nervous tissue dissociated culture of astrocytes, oligodendrocyte, neurons, and Schwann cells reaggregation culture of dissociated cells. Sections devoted to various tissue processing methods and experimental applications of cultured material present histochemical, autoradio-graphic, and immunocytochemical staining and visualization techniques. In situ hybridization methods, as well as preparative procedures for electron microscopy and biochemical and physiological assays, are discussed with an emphasis on methods tailored for the neurobiologist. Alternative techniques for the cultivation of the same organ or cell type from diverse animal species are juxtaposed with a varied selection of methodology and instrumentation, and complemented by key literature citations for further reading, to enable the investigator to chose the appropriate approach for a specific neurobiological application. Presented in a comb-bound format for convenient use on the laboratory bench, A Dissection and Tissue Culture Manual of the Nearvous System will be an essential research companion to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and other laborabory investigators in cell and developmental neurobiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and biochemistry.

Download or read book Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging in Neurochemistry written by Herman Bachelard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advances in Neurochemistry series was initiated for a readership of neuroscientists with a background in biochemistry. True to this concept, the present volume brings together various applications of magnetic resonance technology to advance our knowledge of how the nervous system functions. Whether at the cellular, tissue slice, or intact organism level. magnetic resonance techniques are by their nature noninvasive, and thus provide a window through which biochemical reactions can be viewed without grinding, binding, or other wise perturbing ongoing physiological processes. As technological improve ments in methodology, such as higher and more uniform magnetic fields, novel paradigms for data analysis, etc. , are made, we find increased sensitivity and improved temporal and spatial resolution for functional imaging techniques on the one hand, and better separation of signals that identify chemical properties in spectral shift studies, on the other. It is upon knowledge such as is described in the twelve chapters that follow, that further advances in scientific discovery and the biomedical applications of tomorrow will be based. We are grateful to Dr. Bachelard, the Volume Editor, and to the authors of the individual chapters for their efforts. We also note that with this volume Dr. Morris Aprison, a co-founder of the Advances in Neurochemistry series has stepped down and acknowledge with thanks his major role in its inception. In addition, we thank our past and present Advisory Editors. Bernard W.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the preface: “Neural Metabolism In Vivo aims to provide a comprehensive overview of neurobiology by presenting the basic principles of up-to-date and cutting-edge technology, as well as their application in assessing the functional, morphological and metabolic aspects of the brain. Investigation of neural activity of the living brain via neurovascular coupling using multimodal imaging techniques extended our understanding of fundamental neurophysiological mechanisms, regulation of cerebral blood flow in connection to neural activity and the interplay between neurons, astrocytes and blood vessels. Constant delivery of glucose and oxygen for energy metabolism is vital for brain function, and the physiological basis of neural activity can be assessed through measurements of cerebral blood flow and consumption of glucose and oxygen.... This book presents the complex physiological and neurochemical processes of neural metabolism and function in response to various physiological conditions and pharmacological stimulations. Neurochemical detection technologies and quantitative aspects of monitoring cerebral energy substrates and other metabolites in the living brain are described under the “Cerebral metabolism of antioxidants, osmolytes and others in vivo” section. Altogether, the advent of new in vivo tools has transformed neuroscience and neurobiology research, and demands interdisciplinary approaches as each technology could only approximate a very small fraction of the true complexity of the underlying biological processes. However, translational values of the emerging in vivo methods to the application of preclinical to clinical studies cannot be emphasized enough. Thus, it is our hope that advances in our understanding of biochemical, molecular, functional and physiological processes of the brain could eventually help people with neurological problems, which are still dominated by the unknowns.” -- In-Young Choi and Rolf Gruetter

Download or read book The Role of Glia in Neurotoxicity written by Michael Aschner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well established that glial cells represent more than mere passive cytoskeletal support elements of the central and peripheral nervous system. A reciprocal relationship exists between neurons and glia that is vital for mutual differentiation, development, and functioning of both cell types. It also has become apparent that perturbations in glial function may lead to deleterious consequences in juxtaposed neurons. It is therefore possible that neuronal damage induced by chemicals or neuropathic disease involves dissociation of glial-neuronal interactions. The Role of Glia in Neurotoxicity brings together experts in the neurosciences to provide a more complete understanding of the effects of chemicals on nervous system function. This book explores potential sites of glial-neuronal interactions both in the central and peripheral nervous system, focusing on potential sites of neurotoxicant actions. Text introduces basic aspects of neuroscience, the first step toward understanding the mechanisms at work in normal physiology. The ways in which these processes are disturbed in pathological conditions are discussed. Distinguished authors examine the functional interactions between glial cells and neurons during development, adulthood, and senescence. The roles of glia in the normal CNS and PNS are described. The book offers specific, in-depth examples of directly (via diffusive and cell surface signals) or indirectly (via effects on the extracellular fluid or the blood-brain barrier) mediated glial neurotoxicity. This reference includes different techniques, conceptual frameworks, and approaches that are currently used in the study of the role of glia in neurotoxicity. This timely review not only presents an excellent overview of the state of the science but also provides direction for future research into the consequences of an altered glial-neuronal unit.
