Patch Clamp Electrophysiology

This volume describes a range of standard and novel methodological approaches used to probe ion channel function across different modalities. Chapters guide readers through methods and protocols from an introduction to the decades old patch clamp method for the ion channel neophyte to more complex, recent protocol advances, such as optogenetics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and practical, Patch Clamp Electrophysiology:  Methods and Protocols aims to be a reference guide for current and future ion channel physiologists.
