This third edition of "Nerve and Muscle Excitation" is intended as a text or general reference for students or researchers in neuroscience, biology, biomedical engineering, biophysics, physiology, medicine, neurology, neuroengineering or ancillary fields. It takes the approach of relating observed behaviours of excitable nerve and muscle membranes to the theoretical models currently in use by research workers in each area. Some familiarity, although not extensive knowledge, is assumed with calculus, electrical theory and chemistry; models in the text are derived from basic principles.
