The neurotechniques system cover

In this supplement

New techniques are markedly altering the landscape of experimental neuroscience and redefining the questions that can be asked. Methods such as gene targeting, functional imaging, optogenetic tools and precise anatomical tracing are yielding insight into a diverse range of topics and providing information that is complementary to that obtained by more conventional methods, such as electrophysiology.
