Résumé
The patch-clamp recording technique is indispensable for studying ion channel functions of cells but is challenging to apply to the node of Ranvier, a key site where action potentials are conducted along myelinated nerves. We have developed a pressure-clamped patch-clamp recording method applying to the node of Ranvier of rat myelinated nerves. The step-by-step protocol described here allows researchers to apply this approach to study mechanisms underlying saltatory conduction and information processing in myelinated nerves of mammals. For complete information on the generation and use of this protocol, please refer to Kanda et al. (2019).
