SynopsisBasic Electrophysiological Methods provides a concise and easy-to-read guide on a selection of the most important contemporary electrophysiological techniques, their implementation, applications, and ways in which they can be combined and integrated with neuroscientific techniques. Intended for students, postdocs, and faculty with a basic neuroscience background, this text will not obscure the relevant technical details with textbook neuroscience tutorials as many other books do. Instead, each chapter provides a conscientious overview of the underlying theory - a comprehensive description of equipment, materials, methods, data management, and analysis - a troubleshooting guide, and a list of frequently asked questions. No book or online resource can function as strictly a DIY set of instructions on how to implement a complex technique. However, this book provides a fundamental and accessible set of information intended to form a foundation prior to, during, and after hands-on experience and training, greatly facilitating the initial learning process and subsequent fine-tuning of technical details., A broad, concise, and no-nonsense guide to contemporary electrophysiological techniques, covering intracellular and extracellular recording through recording of population activity, neuropharmacology, dye imaging, voltammetry, and optogenetics. Basic how-to information is augmented by inclusion of extensive illustrations, troubleshooting hints, lists of equipment sources, frequently asked questions and a glossary of terms., Basic Electrophysiological Methods provides a concise and easy-to-read guide on a selection of the most important contemporary electrophysiological techniques, their implementation, applications, and ways in which they can be combined and integrated with neuroscientific techniques.
