how to debug matlab code

I'm a java programmer and I usually work with netbeans. It gave me the possibility to debug my code. During debbugging, after having setted breakpoints, I can see variables values on the screen. Does it exist a similar way in matlab?

dbstop is the corresponding main matlab debugging command. There are also GUI options from the editor, here's a reasonable, if dated, description; http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~marios/matlab/Techniques%20for%20Debugging%20MATLAB%20M-files%20(1207).pdf
