High Performance Liquid Chromatography in Neuroscience Research

General Editor: A.D. Smith High Performance Liquid Chromatography in Neuroscience Research Edited by R.

Bruce Holman, Alan J. Cross and Michael H. Joseph This volume in the Handbook Series begins with a succinct introduction to the principles of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and to the principles of methods development for neuroscience application.

The primary emphasis of the book is on detailed and functional description of methods for a wide range of specific groups of neurochemicals, with particular emphasis on the analysis of neurotransmitters and related compounds.

The final chapter reviews the application of HPLC to the analysis of central nervous system (CNS)-active drugs.

Each chapter is written by experts in their fields. As well as providing a brief overview of the choice of methodologies, they focus on specific methods to provide the maximum amount of practical information based on personal experience, illustrated by material from the analysis of real biological samples.
