As an analogy to ‘Patch Clamp’ techniques, the authors developed a ‘Quantum Patch Clamp’ technique based on manipulating a single nanodiamond for performing quantum multiphysiology inside a single ...

Since its introduction by Bert Sakmann and Erwin Neher in 1978, patch-clamping techniques have become widely accessible with commercially available equipment. And while the science of patch clamping ...

Understanding how nerve cells (neurons) function is essential to finding medical cures for many neuronal diseases, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, or even severe headaches. Since ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Using a dedicated application technique and electrophysiological measurements, the researchers rapidly activated the glutamate receptors. The picture shows a setup for patch-clamp electrophysiology.
