Nicolelis, M.D., Ph.D Our goal in creating the Methods & New Frontiers in Neuroscience Series is to present the insights of experts on emerging experimental techniques and theoretical concepts that are, or will be, at the vanguard of neuroscience Books in the series cover topics ranging from methods to investigate apoptosis to modern techniques for neural ensemble recordings in behaving animals The series also covers new and exciting multidisciplinary areas of brain research, such as computational neuroscience and neuroengineering, and describes breakthroughs in classical fields such as behavioral neuroscience We want these to be the books every neuroscientist will use in order to get acquainted with new methodologies in brain research These books can be given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows when they are looking for guidance to start a new line of research Each book is edited by an expert and consists of chapters written by the leaders in a particular field Books are richly illustrated and contain comprehensive bibliographies Chapters provide substantial background material relevant to the particular subject Hence, they are not just “methods books.” They contain detailed “tricks of the trade” and information as to where these methods can be safely applied In addition, they include information about where to buy equipment and Web sites helpful in solving both practical and theoretical problems We hope that as the volumes become available, the effort put in by us, the publisher, the book editors, and the individual authors will contribute to the further development of brain research The extent to which we achieve this goal will be determined by the utility of these books 2329 FM Frame Page vi Tuesday, January 27, 2004 9:25 AM 2329 FM Frame Page vii Tuesday, January 27, 2004 9:25 AM Preface To edit a book in the Methods and New Frontiers in Neuroscience series in which we are the series editors was an endeavor that was taken only after much consideration Now that this project is completed, we feel that all the hard work has paid off handsomely The stated goal of the books in this series is to produce a book in which each chapter contains not only information about the emerging methods, but also provides what information can be obtained from these methods The disciplines of olfaction, taste, and the common chemical sense have exploded This is partially the result of the identification of many of the genes and their products involved in these fields and partially because methods and analyses developed in other fields of neuroscience are now being applied to the chemical senses The multidisciplinary nature of this field demanded that this book cover a large range of topics We therefore have structured this book into three sections: behavioral, molecular and cell biology, and higher order studies The latter two sections cover methods ranging from molecular biology, to multielectrode recordings from moths and rats, to NMR studies of the olfactory bulb and the cortex To the extent that this book is found to be useful, the authors of the chapters deserve the lion’s share of the credit The most enjoyable aspect of our task was having the privilege of interacting with them We also acknowledge three other people who contributed significantly to the success of this project Don Katz not only wrote a chapter in this book, but also read and provided insightful comments on many others Doug Buchacek kept us organized and was a great help in communicating with CRC Press Finally, we truly appreciate Barbara Norwitz at CRC Press who not only had to deal with us and this book, but with all others in the series Without her support and faith in us, this series would not exist Sid Simon and Miguel
