Electrophysiology Measurements for Studying Neural Interfaces

Providing guidance from the outset of an experiment, this volume helps readers decide on a cell type and system for their research before delving into the electrophysiology techniques they can use. Moreover, this book details the materials, devices, and cell types needed for different studies. New techniques like two-photon microscopy integrated with electrophysiology for in vivo studies and general discussions about animal models provide practical examples for people readers working on neural interface designs. Many of the aforementioned electrophysiology techniques are used to test the designed neural interfaces and measuring their performances. Details steps of an electrophysiology project from start to finish for graduate students employing the technique in their research Includes sample electrophysiological studies with multiple cell lines (PC12, N2a, NG108, SHSY, and embryonic stem cell lines) to facilitate research Features data analysis of electrophysiology results from various relevant experiments and cell culture tips
