In vivo patch clamp recording technique in the study of neurophysiology.
The patch clamp recording technique in vivo is a blind patch clamp recording methods to record the current of the spinal or cereral neurons of anaesthesia ( or awake) animals. This technique can be used to study the synaptic function and plasticity in central nervous system in vivo in order to understand the physiological properties of the ion channels from an integrated point of view. The advantage of this technique has already presented itself in the study of the synaptic transmission and nervous network. Nowadays, in vivo patch whole-cell recording technique in combination with other techniques is becoming a common method in the research fields.
