How Do Electrophysiological Techniques Complement Histological Analysis?
Electrophysiological techniques provide dynamic data that can complement the static images obtained from histological analysis. For example:
Histological staining can reveal the morphology and spatial organization of cells and tissues, while electrophysiological recordings can provide information on how these cells and tissues function in real-time. Combining these approaches allows researchers to correlate structural abnormalities with functional deficits. For instance, in neurological diseases, abnormal electrical activity can often be traced back to changes in tissue structure.
