Definition

  • Electrophysiology is a study of the electrical properties that exist within biological cells and tissues, and this has developed to include the ability of these cells to react to electrical current. To do this, researchers have had to measure the change of voltage and also the flow of electric current covering a variety of scales, ranging from places such as the heart to single-ion channel proteins.
