Springer Membrane Potential Imaging in Nervous System and Heart

Stay current with the latest developments in neurobiology and cardiology with this expanded and fully-updated second edition. This volume from the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series provides a comprehensive look at membrane potential imaging within the nervous system and the heart. Readers will explore modern optical recording technology, including the use of organic and genetically-encoded voltage-sensitive dyes. The text covers a wide range of applications, from imaging individual neurons and brain slices to studying brains in vivo. It also addresses optical imaging of cardiac tissue and arrhythmias, alongside bio-photonics modelling. Structured into four cohesive sections, the book features twenty chapters written by leading experts in the field. This resource is designed for professionals and researchers looking for a deep understanding of recent advances in optical imaging and voltage-sensitive technologies.
