My (admittedly simple) understanding is that the current output is less
dependent on changes in the resistance of the stimulating electrode. As
we use microelectrodes (glass) for stimulating, changes in pipette
resistance during longer experiments does present a possible problem.
Anybody have a more throrough explaination?
