The chapter on neuroleukin and Chapter 4, which describes the dissection of ganglia, preparation of collagen gels, and nerve growth factor activity tests, are particularly informative. Chapters 6-8 detail the use of synthetic, PC12, and chromaffin cells for bioassay of growth factors. One chapter focuses on the histological aspects of nerve growth factor localization at both light and electron microscopic levels. The second part of the book covers the localization of nerve growth factor mRNA using in situ hybridization and provides protocols for in vivo administration of nerve growth factor, including useful tables summarizing known effects. The book is excellent value for money and would be a valuable guide for researchers studying nerve growth factors. The Atlas of Electroencephalography, edited by A Guberman and M Couture, is a practical and attractive textless book. It features 200 full-page miniature EEGs, well-reproduced, and focuses on classical patterns. The atlas is divided into nine chapters, including three on epilepsy-related topics. The first chapter on normal EEGs provides a fair account of electrical normality in adults but lacks a representative sample of normal children, with only two examples (a 9-month-old and a 3-year-old). The author suggests that a chapter on infant EEGs would be particularly impressive.The chapter on neuroleukin and Chapter 4, which describes the dissection of ganglia, preparation of collagen gels, and nerve growth factor activity tests, are particularly informative.
