Opis

This book describes the basic electrical properties of a variety of mammalian tissues in scientific terms that even a student who has had little formal training in the physics of electricity should find understandable.

Recenzje

..well-organised and clearly presented...key concepts...this book would be a highly useful teaching tool. It is a useful introductory textbook for students or researchers and it should enjoy a large audience - Nancy K Wills, Associate Professor, The University of Texas Medical Branch; ...a crucial area which is not covered in many areas from which investigators or students would benefit from a simple treatment of major concepts in electrophysiology. It would also be useful to postgraduates and clinical researchers in areas where it will be of value in understanding some of the important research in these areas. - Donald M Bers, Professor, Loyola University Chicago; This is an excellent teaching book...ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates trying to learn the basics of electrophysiology... - Cardiovascular Research
