From the reviews:
“This is an excellent overview of advances in visualization techniques in neuroscience, particularly at the molecular level. The book is written for neuroscientists, basic neuroresearchers, and students of medical science. It is also appropriate for clinical and academic specialists in neurobiology, neuropharmacology, neurology, neuro-oncology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery. … It is an inspiration for investigators interested in furthering their knowledge of the visualization of the nervous system not only in its entirety, but also at the neuronal level.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2012)
