- Summary:
- This book is devoted to the electrophysiological properties of nerve cells--the ionic and molecular bases of the resting potential, action potential, synaptic potentials, and the electrotonic properties of membranes. The text emphasizes fundamental principles and basic properties of excitable membranes while also presenting the contributions and significance of recent findings about channels, receptors, patch recording, etc. Contains study questions, chapter objectives, boxes, chapter summaries, and key words and concepts.
