Hands-On Workshop on Neuronal Recordings and Stimulation

Neuronal recordings from living animals is probably one of the most informative methods in all of neurosciences and provides the basis for a wealth of other techniques. Its first steps can be taken with little effort and will provide a young researcher with the invaluable experience of having recorded “my first neuron” in vivo.

Within our two-day hands-­on workshop the participants will have access to different commercial recording setups and will acquire neuronal responses within several acute in vivo paradigms. It is the goal of this workshop to go beyond single micro electrode recordings and test the most recent developments in multisite microprobes as well.
