Note

  • Display Note: Abstract: A neuronal network analysis plate having alternating rows of recording wells and amplifying wells. The recording wells contain a neural cell network and a series of electrodes for recording the action potential signals of the neurons. The electrodes are connected to amplifiers in adjacent amplifying wells. The close proximity of these amplifiers ideal because it permits the parallel, non-multiplexed recording of action potential signals from multiple different active nerve cell networks. The amplifiers in the amplifying wells can then be connected to external amplification equipment. The neuronal network analysis plate may be contained within a single commercially available 24 or 96 well plate. The neuronal network analysis plate can be used to detect and quantify pharmacological and toxicological responses of the neural cells to one or more agents in vitro.
