Methods in Chemosensory Research
Methods in Chemosensory Research by Sidney A. Simon, published by Taylor & Francis on September 26, 2001, is a comprehensive resource that explores the field of neuronal chemoreception. This edition spans 552 pages and is presented in English. The book details various techniques, including molecular, electrophysiological, genetic, behavioral, psychophysical, and imaging methods, which are essential for investigating the mechanisms underlying taste, olfaction, and chemical-induced irritation.
Readers will find a thorough examination of innovative imaging and electrophysiological methods, alongside approaches for developmental investigation and behavioral testing. Each section not only outlines the information obtainable through these methods but also provides guidance on their application to achieve reliable results. Methods in Chemosensory Research offers insights into how the brain processes chemical stimuli, making it a valuable tool for those interested in the intersections of neuroscience, psychology, and food science.
Official synopsis Publisher
Written by world experts in the field of neuronal chemoreception, Methods in Chemosensory Research describes new molecular, electrophysiological, genetic, behavioral, psychophysical, and imaging techniques that have recently been adapted to investigate the basic neuronal mechanisms underlying chemoreception: taste, olfaction and chemical-induced irritation. This unique book includes a wide variety of new and innovative imaging methods, electrophysiological methods, methods to investigate development, and various aspects of behavioral testing.
Covering the entire spectrum of chemoreception, each section not only describes what information can be obtained by using each method, but also shows how to apply each method to obtain reliable results. The book presents a comprehensive view of how the brain uses information about chemical stimuli that interact with receptors in the nose and tongue. Methods in Chemosensory Research gives you the new tools to learn how chemicals affect activity from the genetic to the behavioral levels.
