Revealing neuronal function through microelectrode array recordings
Microelectrode arrays and microprobes have been widely utilized to measure neuronal activity, both in vitro and in vivo. The key advantage is the capability to record and stimulate neurons at multiple sites simultaneously. However, unlike the single-cell or single-channel resolution of intracellular recording, microelectrodes detect signals from all possible sources around every sensor. Here, w...
متن کاملIn vitro microelectrode array technology and neural recordings.
In vitro microelectrode array (MEA) technology has evolved into a widely used and effective methodology to study cultured neural networks. An MEA forms a unique electrical interface with the cultured neurons in that neurons are directly grown on top of the electrode (neuron-on-electrode configuration). Theoretical models and experimental results suggest that physical configuration and biologica...
متن کاملA CMOS-based microelectrode array for interaction with neuronal cultures.
We report on the system integration of a CMOS chip that is capable of bidirectionally communicating (stimulation and recording) with electrogenic cells such as neurons or cardiomyocytes and that is targeted at investigating electrical signal propagation within cellular networks in vitro. The overall system consists of three major subunits: first, the core component is a 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm CMOS chi...
متن کاملSelf-Regulating Iris Based on Light-Actuated Liquid Crystal Elastomer.
The iris, found in many animal species, is a biological tissue that can change the aperture (pupil) size to regulate light transmission into the eye in response to varying illumination conditions. The self-regulation of the eye lies behind its autofocusing ability and large dynamic range, rendering it the ultimate "imaging device" and a continuous source of inspiration in science. In optical im...
متن کاملElectrospun Composite Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fibers
We present a robust method to prepare thin oriented nematic liquid crystalline elastomer-polymer (LCE-polymer) core-sheath fibers. An electrospinning setup is utilized to spin a single solution of photo-crosslinkable low molecular weight reactive mesogens and a support polymer to form the coaxial LCE-polymer fibers, where the support polymer forms the sheath via in situ phase separation as the ...
