title: [Cellular electrophysiology and patch clamp technique].
abstract: The fundamentals of cellular electrophysiology and its basic method are described here. The simplyfied structure of the cell, the chemical constitutes of the membrane, and the mechanism of the bioelectric signal generation are included. The patch clamp is the fundamental methodology in modern electrophysiology research. It is closely related to the construction of the laboratory setup and the key technique in experimental procedure.
