Electrophysiology – Multimedia

For World Sleep Day, NNR investigates what goes on in the brain during dreams. We uncover fascinating ideas about rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, the dreams of people born blind, and ask why some dreams are so strange.

In recent decades, functional investigation of neuronal physiology has become the gold standard for decoding how the brain works. This list will look at the main differences between electrophysiological approaches, the most recent innovations in the field and opportunities that recent technological advances have given us.

As a field, neuroscience is far younger than many other biological disciplines and our understanding of the brain is still limited. But research of jaw-dropping ingenuity and technologies of incredible complexity have brought us closer to understanding how the brain works, why it fails, and how to fix it. This eBook includes nine dispatches from the frontiers of neuroscience.

To develop a neuronal 3D spheroid culture system, we tested iPSC-derived human motor neurons and cortical glutamatergic neurons using the S-BIO PrimeSurface Ultra Low Attachment Micoplates.

In order to generate a robust protocol for MEA recording on hiPSC- derived neurons, we evaluated several conditions, which could affect culture performance (1.neuron seeding density; 2.seeding medium; 3.astrocyt eco-culture). These conditions were evaluated with BrainXell’s hiPSC-derived spinal motor neurons, cortical glutamatergic neurons and mixed cortical neurons.

Knowing how someone thinks is crucial to understanding their behavior. With EEG (electroencephalography), you can get access to this hidden world, and reveal what’s really going on in someone’s mind. EEG offers many advantages, but it can be tricky in the beginning. This infographic from iMotions is designed to give you a head start to this powerful technology.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies has developed nanopore-based DNA and RNA sequencing technology designed to provide on-demand biological information, to any person, in any environment.

A femoral nerve defect model was adapted for the evaluation of proregenerative effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Functional evaluation, histology and qRT-PCR data show differences between sensory and motor-derived nerve transplants and a pro-regenerative effect of ESWT. These data provide evidence for the clinical application of ESWT after autologous nerve transplantation as a novel non-invasive method.

In this study we explore the electrophysiological changes associated with lapses in memory consolidation.

The results shown here imply that iPSC-derived Cor.4U human cardioymocytes are a translational in vitro cell model for the prediction of clinically relevant drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias and long-term toxicity.
