The combination of laser capture microdissection and microfluidic RT-qPCR provides anatomic and biotechnical specificity in measuring the transcriptome in single neurons and glia. Applying creative methods with a system's biology approach to psychiatric disease may lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treatment such as the neuroinflammation antireward hypothesis in addiction.
