Neuroscience on JoVE

By neurophilosophy on June 10, 2008.

The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is a pioneering open access online journal devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed biological research in video format.

The JoVE website was launched in December 2006, and now has about 200 films, which are divided into 7 categories, and which describe all sorts of experimental procedures.

The neuroscience category contains videos describing basic techniques such as culturing mouse neocortical neurons, and more sophisticated procedures, such as implanting a glass-covered "brain window" for in vivo imaging in rats.

(In March of last year, I wrote about a study in which the latter method was used to perform in vivo imaging of neuronal plasticity in the olfactory bulb, and I've just uploaded a film clip of the results to YouTube.)

Exciting new online science journal
Have you ever read a paper in your field and wondered "how'd they done it?!" You read the "Materials and Methods" closely, again and again, and still have no idea how exactly was the procedure done. You want to replicate the experiment, or use the same technique for your own questions, but have no…
