Working Methods in Neuropsychopharmacology

Neuropsychopharmacology calls for the use of techniques derived from clinical disciplines which were initially separate. Individual investigators need to become familiar with techniques quite different from those covered during their own training. This book provides practical information useful to those wishing to use, or become familiar with, a variety of basic and clinical, behavioural and neurochemical techniques in neuropsychopharmacology. Each chapter contains introductory material, practical descriptions, sections on trouble-shooting and information about what is most likely to go wrong and how to deal with it. This volume is suitable for use both in the laboratory and in the clinic, as well as for consultation in the library or office.
