There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The patch clamp technique allows for electrical measurements of a single neuron. A tiny glass pipette, its opening only one micron wide, is sealed to the outside of the cell membrane. As ions flow across the gradient through the channels, an electrode reads the current. Graphic: Georgia Tech / Erica Endicott.
