Description

Pass through the device of nano-electrode An arrayed recording endocellular electricity signal
Technical field
It is more particularly to a kind of to pass through nano-electrode An arrayed recording the invention belongs to record the technical field of endocellular electricity signal The device of endocellular electricity signal.
Background technology
In the prior art, study cerebral neuron function and connectedness all the time by huge concern, but still deposit In many technical difficulties.In these years, with genetic marker, immunohistochemical staining, optics and photoelectric technology, electrophysiology and The rapid development of computer technology, biomedical sector have been able to identify the type of neuron, explain their molecular mechanism, The wiring between them is untied, the principle of neural coding is decoded and acts on the functional attributes of specific brain region.
Brain is a complicated system, it is necessary to which a set of comprehensive technology handles and understands the nerve association inside brain Make.Endocellular electricity signal record for research occur neuron current potential generate and change electrical activity be it is essential, because This it be to illustrate nerve cell synaptic input to stimulate the important method for the mechanism for being converted into output potential change.Pass through endocellular electricity The record of signal, it will be appreciated that the activity of nerve cell, and cooperation and communication between nerve cell.Intracellular signals record skill Art, which is produced and changed to nerve cell action potential, provides important research meanses, but minimally invasive, steady due to establishing in vivo Fixed endocellular electricity signal recording system has certain difficulty, cause at present still can not effectively measuring animal brain it is potential The electroneurographic signal subthreshold value activity change of perception, memory and behavior.Intracellular electrode passage would generally draw when recording cell Play biochemical and physiological disturbance or even damage the activity of nerve cell.For example, using traditional Patch-clamp techniques nerve During endocellular electricity signal, patch-clamp liquid pipe internal solution and cytoplasm fast exchange solute.This allows with inside patch-clamp liquid pipe Solution is by the concentration of experiment control intracellular ion He other molecules, and the change of the intracellular point position of record, but this can Biochemical process necessary to normal cell function is caused to be destroyed.Intracellular important molecule or cell liquid easily by with film The contact free diffusing of the external solution of piece pincers, the normal activity of cell is compromised, and generally cell is utilizing patch-clamp Will be progressively dead after two hours of progress Intracellular signals record.This also causes born of the same parents' patch clamp technique to turn into for a long time One limiting factor of cell electric signal record.In addition, cell patchclamp technique is typically only capable to enter single nerve cell one by one Horizontal electrical signal records, and very high to the technical requirements of experimenter, cannot enter horizontal electrical signal in multiple nerve cells with the time Record, this strongly limits the communication understood between different nerve cells and Coordinating Activity.
