Abstract

In our work, we report on the development of a microelectrode(MEA)-microfluidic hybrid system, capable of studying electrophysiology of dissociated neuronal cultures. We present electrophysiological recordings of cortico-striatal network connected by different microchannel lengths of asymmetric axon-diode shape. These asymmetric microchannel shapes serve as extracellular signal amplifiers of directed axonal growth. The average recorded peak to peak action potentials on adjacent electrodes varies between 0.4 mV and 0.6 mV in DIV14 culture, increasing up to 1.8 mV and 2.4 mV after DIV20, respectively. We conclude that the most common signal shape is triphasic, while other less common shapes as pentaphasic ´w´ shape are also present.
