Electrophysiological techniques are vital to modern biology in general and are of particular significance in neuroscience. This volume provides a practical introduction to the methods used for studying single cells and complex neural tissues. Detailed advice is given not only for handling and culturing neural tissues and cells, but also for the mathematical approaches to modeling neuronal behavior and analysing the quantal release of neurotransmitters. An important sourcebook of protocols, helpful hints, and expert advice, it will prove invaluable to researchers in neuroscience, physiology, cell biology, and related areas.
