Dynamic clamp analyses of cardiac, endocrine, and neural function

Physiology (Bethesda). 2006 Jun:21:197-207. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00063.2005.

Abstract

The dynamic clamp introduces artificial conductances into cells to simulate electrical coupling, votage-dependent, leak, and synaptic conductances. This review describes how the dynamic clamp has been used to address various questions in the cardiac, endocrine, and nervous systems.
