Hi All,
Andi Grantham and I will be presenting a lecture at NSH in Long Beach this
year called; Let Alcohol Clear Your Brain.  It deals with brain processing
and we discuss many of the problems routinely encountered with CNS tissues.
If you can be there please attend, if not you may contact either of us by
e-mail at: algranth@u.arizona.edu for Andi or
pmarcum@polysciences.com for Pam Marcum.  We will be happy to share any of
the protocols we have worked out or just listen to the horror stories and
attempt to help or direct you to help.  Pam Marcum
