This is an expanded and fully-updated second edition, reflecting all the recent advances in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty chapters, all authored by leading names in the field, are cohesively structured into four sections. The opening section focuses on the history and principles of membrane potential imaging and lends context to the following sections, which examine applications in single neurons, networks, large neuronal populations and the heart. Topics discussed include population membrane potential signals in development of the vertebrate nervous system, use of membrane potential imaging from dendrites and axons, and depth-resolved optical imaging of cardiac activation and repolarization. The final section discusses the potential – and limitations – for new developments in the field, including new technology such as non-linear optics, advanced microscope designs and genetically encoded voltage sensors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMembrane Potential Imaging in the Nervous System and Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for neurologists, electro physiologists, cardiologists and those who are interested in the applications and the future of membrane potential imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco Canepari (b.

He graduated in Mathematical Physics at the University of Ghent, Belgium and obtained his PhD in Physics from the same university. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at SUNY Upstate Medical University, USA, and as a tenure track research fellow at the University of Leeds, UK. Olivier is an expert in cardiac optical imaging and is currently working on the development of novel techniques for three-dimensional depth-resolved optical imaging of cardiac electrical activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDejan Zecevic (b.
