Living Neural Network on Microelectrode Array
PIs: Victor M. Bright
Student: Chris Roath
Project field/specialty: Neuron Manipulation
Project Description:
This project will attempt to study the properties and interactions of neuronal networks under various external stimuli. A microelectrode array will be used to stimulate and sense signals from individual neurons in an attempt to characterize how these networks are able to perform normal activities as well as repair themselves after having certain connections destroyed. This will eventually lead to a deeper understanding of some of the brain’s functional systems.
Structure of a neuron cell .
Various types of neuron cells.
Funding Source: CU MEMS (Conducted through the Colorado Nanofabrication Laboratory (CNL) Center)
