Presents a study of apoptosis in neurobiology and its significance to the nervous system. This book describes various methods that are used in the study and evaluation of apoptosis. It is suitable for biomedical researchers.

Bridges the gap between cellular and molecular studies of drug actions and behavioral approaches to questions in drug abuse research. This book covers procedures, methods, and equipment used in experiments, that, in many cases, combine multiple technical approaches.

In recent years, a tremendous amount of effort has been focused on better understanding the fundamentals of Alzheimer¿s disease (AD) to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and appropriately targeted therapeutic treatments. This volume provides a detailed synopsis of the current state of the art of diagnostics and therapeutics and identifies emerging technologies and molecules that show promise in the management and treatment of AD. Examining current hypotheses and suggesting possible new approaches to therapeutic clinical applications, this volume paves the way for a robust pipeline of therapeutics to combat not only AD, but a whole host of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Brings the contrasting views of the behavior-biology divide into focus to promote a concerted view of timing and time perception. This book describes the basic mathematical and psychological aspects of scalar timing theory and mode-control models of counting and timing. It also examines the roles of attention and memory in interval timing.
