              However, costly microscope equipment with infrared differential

              in a given preparation would be better accomplished if cells were
              not directly visualized before recording. In addition, some
              preparations require thick slices, and direct visualization is
              not possible. Here we describe a protocol for the 'blind patch
              clamp method' that we developed several years ago to perform
              electrophysiological recordings in mammalian brain slices using a
              standard patch clamp amplifier, dissecting microscope and
              recording chamber. Overall, it takes approximately 3-4 h to set
              up this procedure.",
