What can be studied with electrophysiology? Single channel behaviour – in expression systems: HEK293, CHO’s, X. Laevis oocytes Intrinsic properties of excitable cells – neurons, myocytes Synaptic transmission – neuromuscular junction, neuronal synapses

The hippocampus

Field recordings

LTP/LTD

Whole-cell Recordings

Patch-Recording Methods

Whole-cell recordings Current-clamp vs Voltage-clamp “EPSP” “EPSC”

Whole-cell recordings Current-clamp vs Voltage-clamp

Voltage-clamp

mEPSCs (minis) mEPSC amplitude reflects synaptic AMPAR content Beique et al. (PNAS, 2006)

mEPSCs (minis) mEPSC frequency can reflect: - total number of synapses - presynaptic function

Release probability (Pr) of glutamate Changes in frequency of mEPSCs is generally believed to reflect changes in Pr. “Paired-Pulse” electrical stimulation can also provide information about Pr. Beique et al. (PNAS, 2006)

What about Molecular interventions?

Biolistic transfection of cortical neurons in organotypic slices

Drawbacks to electrical stimulation: - Difficult to isolate individual synaptic events - Spatial Parameters left unknown

2P-Uncaging of MNI-Glutamate
