Recent Examples on the Web Alexander Volkov of Oakwood University has been researching plant electrophysiology—and specifically Venus flytraps—for decades. 
Joanna Thompson, Scientific American, 1 Mar. 2022 As tools to record the signals neurons use to communicate became available, researchers have tried to categorize cells by comparing their different firing patterns, the specialty of the discipline known as electrophysiology. Simon Makin, Scientific American, 6 Oct. 2021 Boston Scientific says the device is part of a $6 billion market for electrophysiology treatments that is growing more than 10% a year. Joe Carlson, Star Tribune, 24 June 2021 But again, the particular work that involved electrophysiology was actually done and written up by my collaborator, a very experienced electrophysiologist. Quanta Magazine, 14 Dec. 2020 He’s being evaluated by a cardiologist specializing in electrophysiology for an implantable defibrillator. John Benson, cleveland, 2 Sep. 2020 Decades of work has established a clear circuitry that has largely held up in human imaging and physiology studies and in rodent studies using modern tools such as optogenetics, chemogenetics, calcium and electrophysiology tools. Dean Mobbs, Scientific American, 20 Sep. 2019 Erich Kiehl, an electrophysiology fellow from the Cleveland Clinic, was also on board American Eagle flight 5471. Lindsey Bever, ajc, 7 May 2018 While not as sudden or alarming, Pete’s symptoms this time were enough to consult with Gaurang Gandhi, MD, an electrophysiologist with the TriHealth Heart Institute and director of electrophysiology and cardiology at Bethesda North Hospital.
