Electrophysiology Measurements for Studying Neural Interfaces is a comprehensive guide authored by Mohammad M. Aria, published by Academic Press in its 1st edition on May 30, 2020. This book serves as an essential resource for researchers and graduate students interested in exploring neural interfaces through electrophysiological techniques. Covering the selection of appropriate cell lines and experimental setups, it delves into various electrophysiology methods available for studying bio-electronic interfaces.
The text details the materials and devices required for different types of neural stimulation, including photoelectrical and photothermal stimulations. Additionally, modern methodologies such as optical electrophysiology and calcium imaging are discussed to offer readers a broader spectrum of tools for monitoring neural activities beyond traditional whole-cell patch-clamp technology.
Steps involved in an electrophysiology project from initiation to completion are meticulously outlined, making it particularly useful for graduate students conducting research using these techniques. The book includes detailed sample studies with multiple cell lines (PC12, N2a, NG108, SHSY, and embryonic stem cell lines) to aid researchers in their experiments.
Furthermore, the text provides data analysis of electrophysiology results from various relevant experiments and offers tips on cell culture practices. With 178 pages of informative content, this book is a valuable asset for anyone embarking on electrophysiological studies in neuroscience.
