Action potential recording from dielectrophoretically positioned neurons inside micro-wells of a planar microelectrode array.
To organise in vitro neural networks at the cellular level and study their electrical patterns, we have fabricated 4 x 4 planar microelectrode arrays using conventional photolithography. The electrode sites of these arrays are located inside micro-wells, for confining the neurons, which are connected with neighbouring wells via micro-trenches capable of guiding the outgrowth of neurites. In ord...
متن کاملAll Titanium Microelectrode Array for Field Potential Measurements from Neurons and Cardiomyocytes - A Feasibility Study
In this paper, we describe our all-titanium microelectrode array (tMEA) fabrication process and show that uncoated titanium microelectrodes are fully applicable to measuring field potentials (FPs) from neurons and cardiomyocytes. Many novel research questions require custom designed microelectrode configurations different from the few commercially available ones. As several different configurat...
متن کاملNeurophysiology: Recording from Neurons in Action
Sensory neurons have mostly been studied in fixed animals, but how do they behave when the animal is free to move? A recent study shows that, during locomotor activity, besides there being a general enhancement in responsiveness, the tuning curves of neurons can also change, altering their optimal stimuli.
متن کاملAn active, flexible carbon nanotube microelectrode array for recording electrocorticograms.
A variety of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) has been developed for monitoring intra-cortical neural activity at a high spatio-temporal resolution, opening a promising future for brain research and neural prostheses. However, most MEAs are based on metal electrodes on rigid substrates, and the intra-cortical implantation normally causes neural damage and immune responses that impede long-term reco...
متن کاملPlateau-Shaped Flexible Polymer Microelectrode Array for Neural Recording
Conventional polymer multielectrode arrays (MEAs) have limitations resulting from a high Young’s modulus, including low conformability and gaps between the electrodes and neurons. These gaps are not a problem in soft tissues such as the brain, due to the repopulation phenomenon. However, gaps can result in signal degradation when recording from a fiber bundle, such as the spinal cord. Methods: ...
