Classical electrophysiological techniques
Electrophysiology is the science and branch of physiology that pertains to the flow of ions in biological tissues and, in particular, to the electrical recording techniques that enable the measurement of this flow. Classical electrophysiology techniques involve placing electrodes into various preparations of biological tissue. The principal types of electrodes are:
simple solid conductors, such as discs and needles (singles or arrays, often insulated except for the tip),
tracings on printed circuit boards, also insulated except for the tip, and
hollow tubes filled with an electrolyte, such as glass pipettes filled with potassium chloride solution or another electrolyte solution.
The principal preparations include:
living organisms,
excised tissue (acute or cultured),
dissociated cells from excised tissue (acute or cultured),
artificially grown cells or tissues, or
hybrids of the above.
Optical electrophysiological techniques
Optical electrophysiological techniques were created by scientists and engineers to overcome one of the main limitations of classical techniques. Classical techniques allow observation of electrical activity at approximately a single point within a volume of tissue. Essentially, classical techniques singularize a distributed phenomenon. Interest in the spatial distribution of bioelectric activity prompted development of molecules capable of emitting light in response to their electrical or chemical environment. Examples are voltage sensitive dyes and fluorescing proteins.
After introducing one or more such compounds into tissue via perfusion, injection or gene expression, the 1 or 2-dimensional distribution of electrical activity may be observed and recorded.Health Softwares -- The Swiss Army Knife of Electrophysiology!,Categories: Medicine, Cardiology, Electrophysiology, Arrhythmia
