An Introductory Guide to Patch Clamp Electrophysiology

The book is not a dictionary of patch clamping. The main fundamentals
are touched upon, but the level of discussion is measured to convey the
concepts in enough depth to apply in practice. There should then be
enough understanding to provide access to specialist literature if required.
A selection of this literature is listed in a ‘Further Reading’ section.
The success of this text should be measured by its ability to minimise the
number of other books that need to be studied, wheels reinvented and time
spent to master basic ideas before successful patch clamp recordings are
made. My hope is that this book will allow patch clamping to become a
rewarding pursuit for many more scientists.
