Wikipedia
Neurophysiology (from Greek , neuron, "nerve"; φύσις, physis, "nature, origin"; and -λογία, -logia, "knowledge") is a branch of physiology and neuroscience that is concerned with the study of the functioning of the nervous system. The primary tools of basic neurophysiological research include electrophysiological recordings, such as patch clamp, voltage clamp, extracellular single-unit recording and recording of local field potentials, as well as some of the methods of calcium imaging, optogenetics, and molecular biology.
Neurophysiology is related to electrophysiology, neurobiology, psychology, neurology, clinical neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, cognitive science, biophysics, mathematical biology, and other sciences concerning the brain.
Usage examples of "neurophysiology".
The way I have phrased this criterion implies that we should begin by looking for the biochemical and cellular changes and then on this basis seek the neurophysiological ones, and that in some way the neurophysiology is a mere incidental product of the biochemical and structural changes.
Reflex theory to account for the motor activity of the nervous system was strongly built into neurophysiology by the time Pavlov came to make his experiments.
But they seemed to work for those whose single-minded concern was to delineate the biochemistry, neurophysiology and cell biology of learning and memory.
In the years that followed their initial observation, Bliss in London, Andersen in Oslo and an increasing number of labs began to investigate in immense detail the neurophysiology of LTP.
Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, until the last few post-Marxist years, Soviet psychology and neurophysiology were set within a specific philosophical tradition which explicitly counterposed a dialectical understanding of mind-brain relations to the mechanistic reductionism which dominates Anglo-American science.
As, at least in neuroscience, the theoretical limitations of naive reductionism become increasingly apparent, and cold-war suspicions recede into history, the time is ripe for the autonomous Soviet tradition in neurophysiology and psychology to be reassimilated into a more integrated and Universalists neuroscience.
All I had to do was to train chicks on either methylanthranilate or water and hand them over to Roger, who would disappear into the neurophysiology lab with them and emerge many hours later with reams of paper which he would begin to analyse.
This was all as one might have expected from the biochemistry, morphology and neurophysiology of the IMHV after training, but we needed to do the experiment more systematically.

Laboratory of Neurophysiology, and over the next half dozen years he methodically created the first detailed map of the functional anatomy of the cortex.
It lias been a challenge to logic and to mathematics, an inspiration to neurophysiology and to the theory of automata.
He, too, had traveled the country and crossed the ocean to spread the word of cybernetics in his field of neurophysiology and throughout the sciences, and early in 1951 Wiener returned the favor.
Early in 1951, before she joined Wiener in Europe, and before the new neurophysiology lab was established, Margaret made a private visit to Jerome Wiesner at the RLE in an effort to dissuade him from bringing McCulloch and his entourage to Tech.
McCulloch and his crew set up their neurophysiology laboratory at MIT.
Their work went on, but without Wiener to light the way, and a cloud hung over the neurophysiology lab and everyone in it.
