Tools of Brain Research

Welcome!

This Wiki contains hands-on advice, contributed by experts, for the practicing experimental neuroscientist. Here you will find information that often gets buried into obscure methods journals or into the invisible Supplementary Materials section of published articles.

If you would like to contribute content please request a user account, then go on to read about the DokuWiki engine that runs this Wiki, and about the syntax and plugins available to authors. Remember, this wiki is not an encyclopedia, it is a down-and-dirty lab manual. Do not hesitate to include all the gory details of procedures, photographs, movies, where to buy reagents, catalog numbers, names and telephone numbers of salespersons, et cetera.
