by Thananan Thammongkolchai, Pichet Termsarasab, Bashar Katirji, and David C Preston
Until very recently most experimental studies on brain chemistry were conducted with postmortem tissue. However, because of shortcomings with postmortem methods and also the desire to directly relate neurochemistry to behavior, there has been a rapid growth of interest towards in vivo neurochemical methods. The recent availability of small diameter hollow dialysis fibres and very sensitive analytical techniques has made microdialysis practical for the routine measurement of many endogenous neu...

Professor Friedrich G. Barth stellt in seinem packenden Buch diese "technische Perfektion" in den übergeordneten Zusammenhang d...
