Electric Field-Induced Effects on Neuronal Cell Biology Accompanying Dielectrophoretic Trapping /

The concept of the cultured neuron probe was induced by the possible selective stimulation of nerves for functional recovery after a neural lesion or disease. The probe consists of a micro-electrode array on top of which groups of neuronal cells are cultured. An efficient method to position groups o...
