Description:
Methods in Chemosensory Research describes new molecular, electrophysiological, engineering, genetic, behavioral, psychophysical, and imaging techniques that have recently been adapted to investigate the basic neuronal mechanisms underlying chemoreception. Written by leaders in the field of neuronal chemoreception specializing in olfaction, gustation, baroreception, and chemical irritation caused by environmental pollutants, this unique book combines novel methods to investigate all aspects of taste and olfaction. These methods range from the molecular level to the investigation of individual cell taste and olfactory epithelia.
Review Quotes: "...The authors are to be congratulated for doing step-by-step 'how-to' descriptions of many current techniques in the field, something any new researcher or student will find very useful...found the writing style to be consistently readable and informative. Much practical information is given...This book represents the kind of basic and well-written laboratory manual and overview textbook longed for in every field. I recommend it to graduate students, laboratory supervisors, and researchers..." Perceptual Motor Skills, 2002
