title: Electrophysiology.
abstract: Electrophysiological recording techniques have been widely applied to study the functional role of neuropeptides. The present chapter focuses on the very often used techniques including whole-cell patch-clamp recording, sharp electrode intracellular recording, and extracellular field potential recording in slice preparation as well as in vivo animal recording.
