ABSTRACT

With the emergence of genetically manipulated laboratory mice as one of the most powerful tools for neuroscientists, imaging techniques capable of providing anatomical and functional information of small animals have become extremely important. Emphasizing data analysis and interpretation, Biomedical Imaging in Experimental Neuroscience presents a comprehensive review of the noninvasive biomedical imaging techniques available for laboratory animal research. It covers the scope and limitations of these methods and analyzes their impact on in vivo neuroscience research. The book also provides a concise theoretical description of the pertinent physics.
