Culturing Nerve Cells
second edition
edited by Gary Banker and Kimberly Goslin
Because neurons and glia in culture are remarkably similar to those in
situ, culture systems make it possible to identify significant cell
interactions and to elucidate their mechanisms. This book is in many ways
a do-it-yourself manual for culturing nerve cells, complete with recipes
and protocols. But it also provides an understanding of the principles
behind the protocols. In effect the contributors invite you into their
labs and provide much of the information you would obtain from such a
visit.
Gary Banker is Senior Scientist and Director of the Program in Cellular
Neurobiology at the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmenttal
Toxicology, Oregon Health Sciences University. Kimberly Goslin is
Instructor in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School.
