Mapping connections in a neuronal network

Harvard researchers have developed a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large number of neurons. The chip has successfully mapped over 70,000 synaptic connections from approximately 2,000 rat neurons.

Unlocking richer intracellular recordings

A team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers has developed a novel microelectrode platform using 3D fuzzy graphene to enable richer intracellular recordings of cardiac action potentials. This advancement could revolutionize research on neurodegenerative and cardiac diseases, as well as the development of new therapeutic strategies.
