Long-Term, High-Spatiotemporal Resolution Recording From Cultured Organotypic Slices with High-Density Microelectrode

Abstract
None:
A novel system to cultivate and record brain slices directly on high-density microelectrode arrays (HD-MEA) was developed. This system allows to continuously record electrical activity of selected individual neurons at high spatial resolution, while monitoring neuronal network activity at the same time. For the first time, properties of single neurons and the corresponding neuronal network in an organotypic hippocampal slice culture were studied over four consecutive weeks at daily intervals.
