Understanding Figures in Neuroscience Research : A Guide to Interpreting Graphs and Methods Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

This innovative text introduces neuroscience students to the visual language of scientific publications, teaching scientific literacy, research methods, and graphical literacy in an engaging way.

Employing a 'pictures first' pedagogical approach, it walks the reader step-by-step through the interpretation of neuroscience figures and explains the principles of experimental design.

The major research techniques – from neuroimaging, to behavioral methods, to genetics and comparative approaches – are explored, illuminating how they are represented graphically in journal articles, and their strengths and limitations as a research tool.

More than 130 example figures provide experimental paradigms for the more difficult-to-visualize methods, and depict actual results taken from the recently published scientific literature.

Data from several study designs are discussed, including clinical case studies, meta-analyses, and experiments from behavior to molecular genetics.

Concrete examples of experiments are provided along with each method, helping students with the design of their own research questions.
