""The DNA microarrays are generally accepted as great new tools in biology and medicine, but they are still not sufficiently utilized in studying gene expression in complex tissues such as the mammalian central nervous system. This book is a long-awaited and much-anticipated source of basic information for neuroscientists who plan to use or already have begun to use the microarray technology. The value of this book is that it contains chapters prepared by experts that cover different aspects of this technology from a very basic introduction to microarray technology to the examples of its successful application in the developmental, integrative and clinical neurosciences. However, even to those who do not plan to use this approach, it could be of great help to understanding the language and appreciating the advances that will undoubtedly arrive.""--Pasko Rakic, M.D., Ph.D., Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Neuroscience and Chairman of Neurobiology, Yale University School of MedicinePlease note: Endorser gives permission to excerpt from quote.
