Cover illustration: The cover image is an art-position from original tables of the book that emphasizes the range
of novel analysis methods now available in cellular and molecular neuroscience research, in contrast to the classical neu-
roanatomical approach of Golgi staining, which represented a milestone in neurohistology during the first half of the last
century. The center image is a photograph from an original Golgi preparation by Giovanni Godina, Emeritus Professor of
Veterinary Anatomy at the University of Torino, Italy,
