 Second, Silva, Landreth, and Bickle take head-on the problem of the growing amount, complexity and integration of the published literature for experiment planning. They show how graphic weighted representations of research findings can be used to guide research decisions; and how to construct these. The principles for constructing these maps are the principles for integrating experimental results, derived directly from landmark published MCC research. Using a case study from recent molecular neuroscience, they show how to generate small maps that reflect a series of experiments, and how to combine these small maps to illustrate an entire field of neuroscience research.
