Designed to enable newcomers to electrophysiology to choose appropriate preparations and techniques for in vitro studies in vertebrate neurobiology. Emphasizes techniques involving the glass micropipette and other recently developed methods, supplementing easy-to-follow instructions with illustrative schemes, examples of original records, photomicrographs, key word listings, comprehensive reference tables and a list of suppliers and key equipment and reagents.

Helmut Kettenmann and Rosemarie Grantyn are the authors of Practical Electrophysiological Methods: A Guide for In Vitro Studies in Vertebrate Neurobiology, published by Wiley.
