Intracellular recording from antidromically activated motoneurones

The recording of potentials from motoneurones with an intracellular electrode.

Monkey posterior parietal cortex neurons antidromically activated from superior colliculus.

The connection between the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and the superior colliculus (SC) was investigated by antidromically activating neurons within the lateral intraparietal (LIP) area with single-pulse stimulation delivered to the intermediate layers of the SC. To dissociate visual and saccade-related responses, the discharge properties of the identified efferent neurons were studied in t...

3 Intracellular recording

Intracellular recording is the measurement of voltage or current across the membrane of a cell. It typically involves an electrode inserted in the cell and a reference electrode outside the cell. The electrodes are connected to an amplifier to measure the membrane potential, possibly in response to a current injected through the intracellular electrode (current clamp), or the current flowing th...

Intracellular recording in behaving animals.

Electrophysiological recordings from behaving animals provide an unparalleled view into the functional role of individual neurons. Intracellular approaches can be especially revealing as they provide information about a neuron's inputs and intrinsic cellular properties, which together determine its spiking output. Recent technical developments have made intracellular recording possible during a...
