- "Neurophysiology is a branch of physiology and neuroscience that studies nervous system function rather than nervous system architecture."
The study of how the nervous system functions, how nerve cells communicate, and how this communication is organized to produce complex behaviors.
- "This area aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases."
- "Historically, it has been dominated by electrophysiology—the electrical recording of neural activity."
- "The electroencephalogram (EEG), patch clamp, voltage clamp, extracellular single-unit recording, and recording of local field potentials are examples."
- "The neuron is an electrochemical machine, it is difficult to isolate electrical events from the metabolic and molecular processes that cause them."
- "Neurophysiologists currently utilize tools from chemistry (calcium imaging), physics (functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI), and molecular biology (site-directed mutations) to examine brain activity."
- "The word originates from the Greek word νεῦρον meaning 'nerve', and physiology meaning knowledge about the function of living systems."
- "Intracellular recording refers to the recording of the properties of single neurons."
- "It aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases."
- "Neurophysiologists currently utilize tools from chemistry such as calcium imaging."
- "The electroencephalogram (EEG) is an example of electrical recording of neural activity."
- "Neurophysiologists currently utilize tools from chemistry, physics, and molecular biology to examine brain activity."
- "It studies nervous system function rather than nervous system architecture."
- "Neurophysiology focuses on studying nervous system function, while neuroscience covers broader aspects including nervous system architecture."
- "The field aims to diagnose and monitor neurological diseases."
- "Molecular biology techniques such as site-directed mutations are used to examine brain activity."
- "Historically, neurophysiology has been dominated by electrophysiology."
- "Tools from chemistry, physics, and molecular biology are utilized by neurophysiologists to examine brain activity."
- "The word originates from the Greek word νεῦρον meaning 'nerve' and physiology meaning knowledge about the function of living systems."
- "Neurophysiologists utilize various techniques, including electrophysiology and molecular biology, to examine and gain knowledge about neural processes."
