Same-Electrode Stimulation and Recording With Dynamic Hardware Artefact Suppression

Neural recording and stimulation of dissociated hippocampal cultures using microfabricated three-dimensional tip electrode array.

There is increasing interest in interfacing dissociated neuronal cultures with planar multielectrode arrays (MEAs) for the study of the dynamics of neuronal networks. Here we report on the successful use of three-dimensional tip electrode arrays (3D MEAs), originally developed for use with brain slices, for recording and stimulation of cultured neurons. We observed that many neurons grew direct...

Microfabricated Electrode Arrays Suitable for Stimulation and Recording in Cardiac Electrophysiological Studies

Construction of a Simple Suction Electrode for Extracellular Recording and Stimulation

Principles of signal transmission in nervous systems are commonly demonstrated in the undergraduate neuroscience laboratory through extracellular recording of nerve and muscle action potentials. Here we describe the construction of a simple suction electrode that we use routinely in our laboratory classes for nerve recording and stimulation. The electrode parts are relatively inexpensive, easil...

All-carbon-nanotube flexible multi-electrode array for neuronal recording and stimulation

Neuro-prosthetic devices aim to restore impaired function through artificial stimulation of the nervous system. A lingering technological bottleneck in this field is the realization of soft, micron sized electrodes capable of injecting enough charge to evoke localized neuronal activity without causing neither electrode nor tissue damage. Direct stimulation with micro electrodes will offer the h...

A simple cuff electrode for nerve recording and stimulation in acute experiments on small animals.

We describe a cuff-type electrode specifically designed for recording from, and electrical stimulation of, cut nerves in acute experiments on small animals. Unlike existing designs of cuff electrodes, it is simple to manufacture, inexpensive and takes little time to implant. The electrode was tested on the hypoglossal, phrenic, recurrent laryngeal, and superior laryngeal nerves in anesthetized ...
