<i>Patch Clamping: An Introductory Guide to Patch Clamp Electrophysiology</i> is a concise introduction to the basic principles and practical applications of this important technique. Starting with a review of the history of patch clamping, the text then goes on to cover the fundamentals of the subject, platforms, equipment and environmental control. This self-contained guide provides everything a practising patch clamp electrophysiologist needs to know to master this important technique, including an overview of membrane biophysics, standard experimental design, data analysis and technical concerns. <p>Aimed at novice and intermediate researchers within neurobiology laboratories, this text will also be of interest to people new to this technique, in universities and research labs as well as research technicians. A useful reference for undergraduates specialising in neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and applied physiology.</p> <p><b>Features:</b></p> <ul> <li>A self-contained guide introducing basic principles and practical applications</li> <li>A practical approach to the subject and written in an accessible non-technical style</li> <li>Extensive coverage of recording modes, analysis of results and numerous handy hints on how to avoid common pitfalls.</li> </ul>
