Intracellular recording of cardiomyocyte action potentials with nanopatterned volcano-shaped microelectrodes

Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

Micro-nanotechnology based multielectrode arrays have led to remarkable progress in the field of transmembrane voltage recordings of excitable cells. However, electrode geometries alone have failed to produce a cell-electrode interface that is sufficiently ...

GABA-mediated tonic inhibition differentially modulates gain in functional subtypes of cortical interneurons

Sean Lewis Hill, Christian Andreas Rössert, Bas-Jan Zandt, Steven Petrou

The binding of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) to extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors generates tonic inhibition that acts as a powerful modulator of cortical network activity. Despite GABA being present throughout the extracellular space of the brain, previous ...

Data driven building of realistic neuron model using IBEA and CMA evolution strategies

Henry Markram, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Tanguy Pierre Louis Damart

Recently the building of large neuronal circuits from realistic neuron models has gained traction. This bottom-up approach relies on the accurate description of the primitive elements composing the brain such as neurons and astrocytes, that are then aggreg ...

Microchannel-based technologies for nerve interfacing

Sandra Gribi

Biomedical technologies in neuroprosthetics are made to restore or replace functions from the nervous system, as well as alleviate pathological conditions. Peripheral nerve interfaces use neuromodulatory techniques to inhibit pain or depression, prevent ep ...

Characterization of multi-channel intraneural stimulation in transradial amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been no reports on the characterization of multi-channel stimulation. A deepe ...

Nonlinear microscopy for temporally and spatially resolved label-free imaging of living cells

Marie Eve Pascale Didier

The human brain consists of approximately a hundred billion of neurons that communicate through a unique series of biochemical and electrical processes. When neuronal networks are solicited, electrochemical processes happen involving millions of cells with ...

Diamond microelectrode arrays for in vitro neuronal recordings

Michele Giugliano

A novel microfabrication technique for microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with a full diamond-cell interface is demonstrated. Boron-doped nano-crystalline diamond (BNCD) is used as a conductive electrode material on metal tracks insulated by intrinsic NCD. MEAs ...
