Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach

by Robert Plonsey (Editor), Roger C. Barr (Editor)

The first edition of Bioelectricity provided an introduction to electrophysiology following a quantitative approach. This second edition addresses new discoveries in the field of ion channels. The text is an introduction to electrophysiology utilizing a quantitative approach. It describes the principles of electrical fields, using basic theory from science and engineering while taking the biological applications into consideration. The book thus provides an introduction to the quantitative description of underlying electrophysiology with illustrative application to cardiac electrophysiology and functional electrical stimulation. The book can be used as a bridge to more advanced texts, particularly those that stress a quantitative approach.
