From the reviews of the second edition:"This book, edited by an outstanding expert in biophysics, and written by a large number of well-recognized contributors, is a complete text on this most important technique. … this excellent neuroscience book brings discussion of this most important technique up-to-date and discusses the current and future prospects in this field. … Patch clamp testing is becoming increasingly important in medical research. For this reason, this book can be highly recommended to medical-biological investigators." (Julian L. Ambrus and Clara M. Ambrus, The Journal of Medicine, February, 2008)
