Of interest are the new techniques that visually  display cell energy metabolism which is coupled to functional brain  activity in behaving animals. \u003cbr\u003e  This is the first book dealing with the application of 2-deoxyglucose  and related metabolic mapping techniques for brain imaging of  behavioral and learning functions. Quantitative autoradiographic  techniques based on the use of exogenous markers include radiolabeled  glucose and its analogs, especially 2-deoxyglucose and  fluorodeoxyglucose. Other mapping techniques are based on the  histochemical staining of endogenous metabolic markers such as  cytochrome oxidase, as well as immunohistochemistry for expression of  c-fos genes. In spite of the great potential capabilities of the new  imaging techniques, relatively few neuroscientists are using this  approach to study brain functions related to behavior. There is a need  to review state-of-the-art applications of these methods in behavioral  neuroscience, and to formulate recommendations for future research in  this area. This book is intended to fulfill these needs by bringing  together leading neuroscientists using metabolic mapping approaches to  elucidate brain mechanisms of behavior. Discussions are not limited to  one animal species, but they cover a broad range of vertebrates with  unique behavioral capabilities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401052023\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2712-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 527\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398582628492,"sku":"9789401052023","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401052023.jpg?v=1755438208","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401052023","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
