title: [Neuropharmacological studies using cerebellar slice preparations].
abstract: Pharmacological and electrophysiological studies using cerebellar slice preparations were reviewed and discussed primarily from a neuropharmacological point of view. Particular reference was made to the potential usefulness of cerebellar slices for studies of neurotransmitters, pre- and postsynaptic receptors, ionic mechanisms and the mechanism of action of CNS drugs. Technical instruction for the use of cerebellar slices were also presented in hopes of facilitating pharmacological research in vitro.
