How is Electrical Excitability Studied in Histology?
Histologists use various techniques to study electrical excitability. These include electrophysiological recordings, such as patch-clamp techniques, which measure ion currents and membrane potentials in individual cells. Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence microscopy can be used to visualize the distribution of ion channels and other proteins involved in excitability. Electron microscopy provides detailed images of cellular structures involved in electrical signaling.
