Electrochemical Methods for Neuroscience

Edited By Adrian C. Michael, Laura Borland Copyright 2007

    Since the first implant of a carbon microelectrode in a rat 35 years ago, there have been substantial advances in the sensitivity, selectivity and temporal resolution of electrochemical techniques. Today, these methods provide neurochemical information that is not accessible by other means. The growing recognition of the versatility of electrochemi
