09:16An Introduction to Neurophysiology
Neurophysiology is broadly defined as the study of nervous system function. In this field, scientists investigate the central and peripheral nervous ...
09:43Patch Clamp Electrophysiology
Neuron cell membranes are populated with ion channels that control the movement of charge into and out of the cell, thereby regulating neuron firing. One ...
08:43Calcium Imaging in Neurons
Calcium ions play an integral role in neuron function: They act as intracellular signals that can elicit responses such as altered gene expression and ...
10:15An Introduction to Neuroanatomy
Neuroanatomy is the study of nervous system structures and how they relate to function. One focus of neuroanatomists is the macroscopic structures within ...
08:28Rodent Stereotaxic Surgery
Stereotaxic (or stereotactic) surgery is a method used to manipulate the brain of living animals. This technique allows researchers to accurately target ...
08:55Histological Staining of Neural Tissue
In order to examine the cellular, structural and molecular layout of tissues and organs, researchers use a method known as histological staining. In this ...
08:45An Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience
Behavioral neuroscience is the study of how the nervous system guides behavior, and how the various functional areas and networks within the brain ...
07:42The Morris Water Maze
The Morris water maze is one of the most widely used behavioral tests for studying spatial learning and memory. In the initial phases of this task, ...
09:15fMRI: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique used to investigate human brain function and cognition in both ...
11:25An Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
Cellular and molecular neuroscience is one of the newest and fastest growing subdisciplines in neuroscience. By investigating the influences of genes, ...
08:43Primary Neuronal Cultures
The complexity of the brain often requires neuroscientists to use a simpler system for experimental manipulations and observations. One powerful approach ...
08:04Neuronal Transfection Methods
Transfection - the process of transferring genetic material into cells - is a powerful tool for the rapid and efficient manipulation of gene expression in ...
07:45Explant Culture of Neural Tissue
The intricate structure of the vertebrate nervous system arises from a complex series of events involving cell differentiation, cell migration, and ...
