I propose that the newly created stub Cellular recording be merged into (and made a redirect to) here. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 18:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Having gotten around to the merge above, I realize that we also have Single-cell recording, which should also be merged here. It contains some sourced information on history etc. that should be incorporated in the merge. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 18:13, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
And yet another merge. Extracellular field potential is about exactly the same thing: it's what single-unit recording records. And, unlike local field potential, it's a relatively uncommon term, because for single cells, it's typically just the "extracellular potential". Calling it a "field" is somewhat strange. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 16:45, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

With the inclusion of intracellular and combined recording methods, this page seems to me to have become about electrophysiological recordings from single cells. Maybe my experience with the subject is out-of-date, but the term "single unit" refers to something more specific than that. It has clasically meant extracellular recording within a tissue that has many neurons (typically brains in vivo), in which the potential from a single neuron is recorded in isolation. The word "unit" is used to indicate that a single cell is not actually visualized, but is instead inferred from the characteristics of the recording. Think: the kind of recordings Hubel and Weisel made in the visual cortex. I'm concerned that through OR this page has become too broad in scope. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 00:19, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
