Electrophysiological recording techniques

Applying neurophysiological methods to the study of brain-behavior relationships proved to be a major advance in the early days of neuroscience research. Considerable technological progress has been made very recently, and the impacton modern neuroscience will be invaluable. In Electrophysiological Recording Techniques, experts in the field present a current view of the widespread application of electrophysiological methods to the study of the brain and to the problem of brain-behavior relationships. The book has been organized to displaythe range of modern neurophysiological methods ranging from the recordings ofsingle neurons and neuronal ensembles to recordings of field potentials within discrete brain regions and across multiple brain areas. Many of the chaptersalso address the major challenge of applying the appropriate methods to analyze and interpret neurophysiological recording data. As a volume in the popularNeuromethods series, the chapters provide authoritative reviews of many commonly used approaches in the field today in both the basic research level and inclinical settings. Practical and up-to-date, Electrophysiological Recording Techniques serves as a key reference volume for researchers working in this ever-changing and vital field.
