[Patch clamp].
Patch clamp technique was applied to variety of cells for variety of purposes. There are several modifications made for the technique and we can now record not only from the single channel but also from the whole cell membrane. The application of the patch recording technique was expanded and recordings were made recently from brain slice preparations. We have summarized technical aspects and several applications of patch clamp in this short review.
