The Synapse02:47

The Synapse

132.8K
Neurons communicate with one another by passing on their electrical signals to other neurons. A synapse is the location where two neurons meet to exchange signals. At the synapse, the neuron that sends the signal is called the presynaptic cell, while the neuron that receives the message is called the postsynaptic cell. Note that most neurons can be both presynaptic and postsynaptic, as they both transmit and receive information.

Assessing the Effects of Toxins on Chick Embryo Neural Network Development Using Multielectrode Arrays

431
This video demonstrates the use of multi-electrode arrays (MEA) to study the effects of toxins on early embryonic chick neuronal cultures. By monitoring the synchronous activity of the neurons in the neuronal network, the MEA captures the functional dynamics of the neuronal network in response to toxin exposure. Reduced synchrony and firing rates upon toxin exposure highlight its detrimental impact on neuronal network maturation and...
