Current Protocols in Neuroscience is a one-stop resource for finding and adapting the best models and methods for all types of neuroscience experiments.

Updated every three months in all formats, CPNS is constantly evolving to keep pace with the very latest discoveries and developments. A year of these quarterly updates is included in the initial CPNS purchase price. That's 570 pages of new (60%) and revised (40%) content on average every year since the initial publication of the work in October 1997! Presently three volumes in its looseleaf print version, CPNS...
