Description
Book SynopsisElectrophysiological methods are used at nearly all levels of biological research today. Dr. Yan Dong, an expert in utilizing electrophysiological techniques for brain research with fifteen years of experience, and Peter Neumann hope this work can act as a concise and practical aid to remedy the current situation.
Trade Review“This book can be consulted as a ‘how to’ manual for investigator. It is an excellent book for physiologists, biomathematicians, students, postdocs, engineers, and biochemists with an interest in neurophysiology. Established researchers may find it useful also.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, February, 2016)
