Drawing on contemporary findings in neuroscience and a wealthy number of case histories from his personal medical perform, Dr.
Dopamine: Methods and Protocols
Dopamine, a catecholamine transmitter, performs a few very important physiological roles within the mind and physique, and, in recent times, stories at the position of dopamine in disorder have opened new avenues of study and discovery. In Dopamine: equipment and Protocols, specialists and key figures in the box supply distinctive protocols on prime techniques within the examine of dopamine inside organic structures.

The mean of all recording electrodes is an appro ximation of this. Obviously, the more electrodes used, particularly from undersampled re gions of the head , the more such a reference approximates the true zero potential. To the untrained eye, such a reference ma y initially cause confusion because f ields of both polarities are emphasized. F ocal negative spikes from one hemisphere or lobe are accompanied b y positive potentials, commonly from the opposite hemisphere. This distribution does not represent bilateral spik e sources; rather, it represents the nor mal dipolar f ield of any cerebral generator.
Nevertheless, potential differences between a circuit element and either g round rod typically are large in comparison with potential differences between two ground points. Exceptions and cautions regarding possible voltages between two different grounds are reviewed near the end of this chapter , in the section on electrical safety. 1 lists typical voltages and currents for a few commonly encountered systems. 1. 000001 Note: Numbers are rough approximations, for illustrative purposes only.
