Resynchronization in neuronal network divided by femtosecond laser processing

Abstract: We demonstrated scission of a living neuronal network on multielectrode arrays (MEAs) using a focused femtosecond laser and evaluated the resynchronization of spontaneous electrical activity within the network. By an irradiation of femtosecond laser into hippocampal neurons cultured on a multielectrode array dish, neurites were cut at the focal point. After the irradiation, synchronization of neuronal activity within the network drastically decreased over the divided area, indicating diminished functional conn… Show more

“…VP propagation from one side of the detectable region to the other was indicated by the analysed data from the MEA. Complex neuronal networks found in animals do not exist in plants, and many signal patterns, such as bursting or synchronisation that have been widely studied in animal nerves1929 and brains30, have not been discovered or investigated in plants in situ . Considering the variations in the features of electrical signals in plants, different information (perhaps corresponding to different environmental stimuli, such as cold, heat, or cutting) might be transmitted through different VP signal types.…”

“…Dissociated neuron was plated with a nominal density of 2500 cells/mm 2 onto a poly(ethylenimine)-coated multi-electrode dish (MED) probe (Alpha MED Scientific, Osaka, Japan). The probe consisted of 64 planar microelectrodes and 4 reference electrodes [Kudoh et al, 2007;Hosokawa et al, 2008;Ito et al, 2010]. Each electrode was 50×50 m 2 and the electrode spacing was 150 m.…”

“…Stimulated spikes that were produced by bipolar pulses (10 μA, 100 μs × 2) from one channel (electrode) were recorded by an extracellular recording system with 64 channels (MED64, Alpha MED Scientific Inc.) with a sampling frequency of 20 kHz. These procedures were basically the same as those described previously [12], [13]. Raster plots were obtained by detecting the peaks of recorded spike responses with a prespecified threshold (5 times the root mean square of4noise, peak-to-peak Because we did not sort the spikes, the spike train from each electrode may be composed of spikes from several neuronal cells as shown in Fig.1.…”
