  Excitable cells include nerve, sensory and muscle cells and they are studied by students of physiology, neuroscience, cell biology and biophysics. The text is well known among students and researchers for its thoroughness and clarity. Fundamental concepts are explained and key experiments are examined in some detail. The revised and restructured new edition takes account of recent advances in molecular biology, with 900 new references to bring the coverage up to date, but retains the same essential philosophy as previous editions.

  This book provides the reader with an account of some of the experimental evidence on which our present knowledge is based. The third edition of this highly successful book has been extensively revised and restructured to incorporate the many recent advances in the subject, including new information on the properties of single ionic channels and the molecular biology of membrane proteins. There are many new illustrations and numerous references to recent work. The essential philosophy of the book remains the same: fundamental concepts are clearly explained and key experiments are examined in some detail. The contents of the book that was so successfully launched in 1971 are now appropriate to the challenges of the 1990s. The book is primarily intended for use by students of physiology, biophysics, neuroscience or zoology, and will be useful to those beginning research, and to scientists of related disciplines.
