    Abstract Electrophysiology is an essential tool aiding the study of the functions and dysfunctions of electrically excitable cells and their networks. The patch clamp method is a refined electrophysiological technique that can directly measure the membrane potential and/or the amount of current passing across the cell membrane. The patch clamp technique is also incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of different configurations to study a range of properties, from spontaneous cell firing activity in native tissue to the activation and/or deactivation kinetics of individual channels expressed in recombinant cell lines. In this chapter we give an overview of patch clamping and how the different configurations can be set up and applied to electrophysiological research.

    Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing appreciation by regulatory authorities that cannabis-based medicines can play a useful role in disease therapy. Although often conflagrated by proponents of recreational use, the legislative rescheduling of cannabis-derived compounds, such as cannabidiol (CBD), has been associated with the steady increase in the pursuit of use of medicinal cannabis. One key driver in this interest has been the scientific demonstration of efficacy and safety of CBD in randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trials in children and young adults with difficult-to-treat epilepsies, which has encouraged increasing numbers of human trials of CBD for other indications and in other populations. The introduction of CBD as the medicine Epidiolex in the United States (in 2018) and as Epidyolex in the European Union (in 2019) as the first cannabis-derived therapeutic for the treatment of seizures was underpinned by preclinical research performed at the University of Reading. This work was awarded the British Pharmacological Society Sir James Black Award for Contributions to Drug Discovery 2019 and is discussed in the following review article.

    Abstract The GluR3 subunit of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) has been identified as a target for autoantibodies (Aabs) in autoimmune encephalopathy and other diseases. Recent studies have proposed mechanisms by which these Aabs act, but their exact role in neuronal excitability is yet to be established. Patient Aabs have been shown to bind to specific regions within the GluR3 subunit. GLUR3B peptides were designed based on described (ELISA) immunogenic epitopes for Aabs and an immunisation strategy was used to generate novel anti-AMPAR Aabs. Target-specific binding and specificity of affinity-purified anti-AMPAR Aabs was confirmed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunocytochemistry and Western blot. Functional anti-AMPAR Aab effects were determined on excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) from primary hippocampal neurons using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology. Acute (10 or 30 min) or longer-term (24 h) application of anti-AMPAR Aabs caused a significant reduction in the mean frequency of spontaneous and miniature EPSCs in hippocampal neurons. Our data demonstrate that anti-AMPAR Aabs targeting peptides linked to auto-immune diseases mediate inhibitory effects on neuronal excitability at the synaptic level, such effects may lead to disruption of the excitatory/inhibitory balance at a network level.
