The Application of Micromethods to Neurochemistry

Abstract

Micromethods are of great use for the neurochemical analysis of samples of tissue from defined regions of the brain as they do not require material from a vast number of animals. Micromethods are also often the only methods for biochemical analysis when the quantity of material is limited. This article will outline the micromethods currently in use in our laboratory and will describe some results obtained by these procedures.
