Even before the time of organized scientific investigation, hu mans
had begun pondering and attempting to explain the work ing of the
brain and the mental and behavioral states it produces. In the last
twenty years there has been an almost explosive in crease in brain
research. Beginning perhaps with the pioneering efforts of Francis
O. Schmitt to establish the Neuroscience Re search Program and the
later development of the Society for Neuroscience, there has
emerged a large and powerful multi disciplinary research force
devoted to understanding even the ru dimentary aspects of brain
functioning. Chemists, physicists, and engineers with their special
expert ise in quantitative physical measurements have teamed up
with the neurobiologists, who best know the texture and design of
brains, to produce particularly effective new approaches. No where
is this more evident than in the recently developed meth ods like
positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance
imaging-techniques that allow one to observe on-going brain ac
tivity in humans. This volume concerns a considerably more modest
approach: the use of microelectrodes to electrochemically monitor
certain aspects of chemical dynamics in functioning ani mal brain
systems. The method provides signals that can be di rectly related
to chemical neurotransmission. It is a relatively new technique,
the first practical measurements having been made in the 1970s, and
it is continuously undergoing refinement. The organizer of this
book, Jay Justice, is eminently qualified for the task."
