The answers to these questions are easy - they more than justify the volumes to come and show the strong need for their existence. It is customary to think of methods as a necessary but unexciting means to an end - to relegate advances in methodology to a minor role in the creative, original portion of advances in science. This is not the case; the pace-setting function of methodology is well illustrated in most areas of neurobiology. To formulate our questions to Nature (which is the essence of experimental design), methodology is needed; to get answers to our ques­ tions we have to devise yet new methods. The chapters of the present volume fully illustrate how the development of a new method can cut a new path­ how it can open new fields, just as the microscope founded histology. Heter­ ogeneity of structures presents a formidable challenge for methodology in the nervous system, yet methods for separating the structures are essential if we ever want to decipher the enigma of functional contribution of the ele­ ments to the whole. The problem is not only physical separation-clearly methods are essential to study complex structures in situ.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461577508\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-7748-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672921784460,"sku":"9781461577508","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461577508.jpg?v=1776525919","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461577508","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
