Finally, this chapter oudines only some basic ion channel principles and mechanisms. Those students who would like to expand their knowledge in this exciting field should start with two valuable ion channel books—Ionic Channels of Excitable Membranes, by Bertil HUle, and Single-Channel Recording, edited by the Nobel Prize winners Bert Sakmann and Erwin Neher.
