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 کاملMulti-electrode arrays technology for the non-invasive recording of neural signals: a review article
The recording of electrophysiological activities of brain neurons in the last half-century has been considered as one of the effective tools for the development of neuroscience. One of the techniques for recording the activity of nerve cells is the multi-electrode arrays (MEAs). Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are usually employed to record electrical signals from electrogenic cells like neurons o...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Particle Separation in the Fluid Flow in a Microchannel Including Spiral and Acoustic Regions
Particulate separation has many applications in medicine, biology and industry. In this research, the separation of polystyrene particles with a diameter of 10, 20 and 30 μm in the fluid flow of a microchannel is investigated. The microchannel consists of a spiral region and a straight region under the influence of acoustic waves. In the spiral region, the particles under hydrodynamic effects u...
متن کاملGenerating and Focusing the Ultrasound Waves Using Elastomer-based Capacitive Micro-Speakers
Ultrasound wave is a kind of waves with the frequency higher than the human audible frequency. Although ultrasound was first used for military identification purposes, it has been used for decades for various other applications, especially medical applications. Medical applications of ultrasound include diagnostic and therapeutic applications, such as for the treatment of cancer. In this paper,...
متن کاملInvestigating the concept of diffusional independence. Potential step transients at nano- and micro-electrode arrays: theory and experiment.
Microelectrode arrays find broad application in electroanalysis offering the enhanced sensitivity associated with microelectrodes, but with a high total current output. Such arrays are often constructed to make the electrodes 'diffusionally independent'. To emphasize that this is a time dependent property, a two-dimensional simulation, in conjunction with the diffusional domain approach, is use...
