electrophyisological techniques

Electrophysiological techniques are methods used to study the electrical activity of cells, particularly neurons and muscles. They involve measuring electrical signals generated by these cells when they communicate or react to stimuli. For example, implants or sensors can detect tiny electrical impulses, providing insights into how the nervous system functions or how muscles respond. These techniques help researchers understand brain activity, diagnose neurological disorders, and develop treatments. They are precise tools that record electrical changes across cell membranes, revealing patterns and responses that are fundamental to bodily functions and health.
