We present a highly configurable, high-temporal-and-spatial-resolution microelectrode array (MEA) system, fabricated in CMOS technology, featuring 26'400 platinum microelectrodes (5×9 µm 2 ) with a pitch of 17.5 µm, arranged in a rectangular grid within an overall area of 3.8×2.1 mm 2 . The array constitutes a very flexible bidirectional interface to electrogenic cells. High-throughput, subcellular-resolution recording and stimulation of large networks of neurons enable studies of information processing and learning capabilities of neurons.An exemplary recording session demonstrates the flexibility in electrode selection and shows the system's capabilities to record from widely-spaced sets of electrodes that provide a network level overview and to subsequently perform subcellular-resolution single cell recordings of selected areas of interest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
