Quantitative Methods in Neuroscience : A Neuroanatomical Approach

Stereology is a valuable tool for scientists, allowing them to make accurate 3-D reconstructions of the brain from 2-D data - using unbiased data. 'Quantitative methods in neuroscience' is a cookbook of stereological methods - the first ever written for neuroscientists. It provides clear and accessible advice about how and when to use stereological techniques. The book will be a valuable introduction to these methods for neuroscientists, and all those involved in development of new drug programmes.
