A 256x256 CMOS Microelectrode Array for Extracellular Neural Stimulation of Acute Brain Slices
Extracellular stimulation of neurons is an important tool in investigating the function of the nervous system. Optical techniques, based on voltageand calcium-sensitive dyes or photouncaging, along with multi-photon fluorescent microscopy have proven very successful in imaging activity in slices and in uico. However, studies have been limited by the ability to stimulate different regions of tis...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Culture Chamber for the Long-term Perfu- Sion and Precise Chemical Stimulation of Organotypic Brain Tissue Slices
We have developed a microfluidic perfusion-based culture system to study long-term in-vitro responses of organotypic brain slices exposed to localized neurochemical stimulation. Using this microperfusion chamber we show that hippocampal organotypic brain slices cultures grown on nitrocellulose membranes can be stimulated for up to 24 hours in our experimental setup while preserving tissue viabi...
متن کاملBiocompatibility of polyimide microelectrode array for retinal stimulation
Artificial retina is aimed for the stimulation of remained retinal neurons in the patient with degenerated photoreceptors. Microelectrode arrays have been developed for this as a part of stimulator. To minimize the damage during ophthalmic surgery and to get better contact to retina, flexible polyimide, which can be fabricated based on semiconductor manufacturing, was selected as the substrate ...
متن کاملChamber and microfluidic probe for microperfusion of organotypic brain slices.
Microfluidic systems are increasingly being used for the culture and study of dissociated cells because they require only minute amounts of materials while enabling drug screening and chemotaxis studies down to the single cell level. However, the culture of organized tissue, such as brain slices, has been more difficult to adapt to microfluidic devices. Here, we present a microfluidic system, c...
متن کاملA microfluidic platform with pH imaging for chemical and hydrodynamic stimulation of intact oral biofilms.
A microfluidic platform with a fluorescent nanoparticle-based sensor is demonstrated for real-time, ratiometric pH imaging of biofilms. Sensing is accomplished by a thin patterned layer of covalently bonded Ag@SiO2+FiTC nanoparticles on an embedded planar glass substrate. The system is designed to be sensitive, responsive and give sufficient spatial resolution to enable new micro-scale studies ...
