Correction: searching for plasticity in dissociated cortical cultures on multi-electrode arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
After publication of this article [1], the authors became aware that the numerical codes for two of the datasets, protocols III.3 and III.4, were inadvertently confused during the writing of the paper. Accordingly, the following corrigenda apply: • Abstract, last line: For ‘distributed electrical stimulation,’ read ‘elevated extracellular magnesium concentrations.’ • Background, last paragraph before ‘Results’: For ‘distributed multi-site stimuli [29],’ read ‘elevated extracellular magnesium concentrations.’ • Results, third to last paragraph (after the equation ‘∆nSR spont ≡ nSR base−n SR ctrl’): For ‘III.4,’ read ‘III.3’ (two instances), and for ‘5 or 10 ms later’, read ‘5 ms later.’ • Results, second to last paragraph: For ‘III.4,’ read ‘III.3.’ • Results, final paragraph: For ‘III.3,’ read ‘III.4.’ • Figure 6A, right panel: For ‘III.4,’ read ‘III.3.’ • Figure 6B, two rightmost panels: For ‘III.3 (magnesium burst quieting),’ read ‘III.4 (electrical burst quieting, long tet.)’ and vice versa. • Figure 6, caption: For ‘III.4,’ read ‘III.3’ and vice versa (several instances). In particular: ‘N = 67, 67, 167, 142 for protocols III.1, III.2, III.3, and III.4.’ • Discussion, first paragraph following the caption One successful protocol with burst quieting in Series III: For ‘III.4,’ read ‘III.3.’ For ‘10 ms,’ read ‘5 ms.’ • Discussion, following paragraph: This paragraph (‘The fact that . . . tetanus’) should be dropped entirely. A version of the article with all the above corrections marked is available from the authors’ website, at http://biology.ucsd.edu/∼dwagenaa/jnrbm.

Effective parameters for stimulation of dissociated cultures using multi-electrode arrays.
Electrical stimulation through multi-electrode arrays is used to evoke activity in dissociated cultures of cortical neurons. We study the efficacies of a variety of pulse shapes under voltage control as well as current control, and determine useful parameter ranges that optimize efficacy while preventing damage through electrochemistry. For any pulse shape, stimulation is found to be mediated b...
متن کاملIridium Oxide Microelectrode Arrays for In Vitro Stimulation of Individual Rat Neurons from Dissociated Cultures
We present the first in vitro extracellular stimulation of individual neurons from dissociated cultures with iridium oxide (IrO(x)) electrodes. Microelectrode arrays with sputtered IrO(x) films (SIROF) were developed for electrophysiological investigations with electrogenic cells. The microelectrodes were characterized with scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, revealing rough and poro...
متن کاملMulti-electrode arrays technology for the non-invasive recording of neural signals: a review article
The recording of electrophysiological activities of brain neurons in the last half-century has been considered as one of the effective tools for the development of neuroscience. One of the techniques for recording the activity of nerve cells is the multi-electrode arrays (MEAs). Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are usually employed to record electrical signals from electrogenic cells like neurons o...
متن کاملPlasticity of recurring spatiotemporal activity patterns in cortical networks.
How do neurons encode and store information for long periods of time? Recurring patterns of activity have been reported in various cortical structures and were suggested to play a role in information processing and memory. To study the potential role of bursts of action potentials in memory mechanisms, we investigated patterns of spontaneous multi-single-unit activity in dissociated rat cortica...
متن کاملA new approach to neural cell culture for long-term studies.
We have developed a new method for culturing cells that maintains their health and sterility for many months. Using conventional techniques, primary neuron cultures seldom survive more than 2 months. Increases in the osmotic strength of media due to evaporation are a large and underappreciated contributor to the gradual decline in the health of these cultures. Because of this and the ever-prese...
