- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2011If you are interested in the science of electrophysiology, this is your textbook. Starts with basic, ground concepts and works it way up. Begin with an intro of Ohm's law, etc. and the history of electrophysiology and moves to more in depth material for each ion channel. The only drawback is that this is the most up to date version, so there has been some progress since then. But for anyone involved in patch clamping, this is a must read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2021Great book. So many details. It’s a wonderful world of ion channels.

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022Tenía las dos ediciones anteriores de este libro, pero andaba buscando la última edición. El estado del libro correspondía a la descripción del vendedor. Todo perfecto.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2011The scientist and researcher will find this book of much value as a resource and reference for those studying cellular action, function and response. The book cites many examples of high quality data that are currently pertinent to many avenues of advanced cellular research areas.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013If you're thinking of learning about electrophysiology (not cardiac), this is THE resource. It discusses most of the known ion fluctuations and gives a great deal of background in the proper physics to aid understanding. The style is dry and dense; this is not a book that one reads multiple chapters at a time, but it will be helpful to have on the shelf to look up some information quickly. I took off a star because, as good and highly recommended a resource as this is, it's less practical than other books on electrophysiology. This is a 'before the experiment' book-it helps identify the channels you're looking at, what kind of glass to choose, what drugs might be appropriate for your experiment. It is less helpful with the 'during the experiment' questions than, say, Patch Clamping. It doesn't explain as well what a good seal looks like on your oscilloscope, for instance.
To sum: great resource for electrophysiologists, pair with another book for the practical side of actually performing the experiment.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022Perfect product
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2014I don't think I need to comment on the book itself. It's quite specialized. Those who need it know how good it is.
The book I got looks pretty much new. Just as described.

5.0 out of 5 stars Electrofisiología
Si estás iniciando a estudiar electrofisiología de manera seria este es un excelente libro para iniciar. Claro, y bastante agradable de leer.
Llegó en perfectas condiciones como siempre de Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars 歴史的な本
長年待ってやっと手に入れました。今となってはこの本の内容はどこかから入手することができるでしょう。ただし、著者の年齢から考えて次の版はないはずです。電気生理学者にとってこの本は内容と言うよりは所有していることに意義があります。ネーヤーとザックマンの「Single-Channel Recording」のように、この本も歴史的に重要な位置づけになると思います。専門家以外には意味のないことかも知れませんが。

5.0 out of 5 stars Un livre de référence
"Ion channels of excitable membranes" est un livre de référence pour ceux qui s'intéressent au domaine des canaux ioniques. Cette nouvelle édition paraît au moment où les protéines membranaires remobilisent l'intérêt des biologistes. Plus particulièrement, plusieurs membres la famille des canaux ioniques ont leur structure tridimensionnelle résolue à l'échelle atomique!
