Abstract

Multielectrode arrays (MEAs) are grids of substrate-integrated microelectrodes that allow for electrophysiological interrogation of dissociated cell cultures or tissue slices. Here we discuss the use of nonimplantable electrodes for studies. The methods described attempt to provide a starting point for researchers new to the field who wish to begin to utilize this powerful, but daunting technology and quickly apply the basic principles to their own research interests.

Keywords: Acute tissue slice; Cell culture; Electrophysiology; Microelectrode; Multielectrode array; Neuronal network; Organotypic slice.
