To investigate the minimum neuron and neurite densities required for synchronized bursts,
we cultured rat cortical neurons on planar multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) at five plating …

The implementation of autonomous functions, such as autonomous actuation, self-healing,
and learning functions, has been a potent strategy to realize adaptation abilities against …

We demonstrate intracellular manipulation of synaptic vesicles in living neurons by optical
trapping. When an infrared trapping laser is focused on synapses of a neuronal cell labeled …

We demonstrated scission of a living neuronal network on multielectrode arrays (MEAs)
using a focused femtosecond laser and evaluated the resynchronization of spontaneous …

An all-wet femtosecond laser microprocessing technique was utilized for patterning and
cutting functional network of living neuronal cells on a multi-electrode dish (MED). The …

Xenon (Xe) and other inert gases produce anesthesia via an inhibitory mechanism in
neuronal networks. To better understand this mechanism, we measured the electrical …

A plasmonic chip with a periodic structure coated with thin metal films was fabricated and
applied to bioimaging under a fluorescence microscope. By using the enhanced electric …

Neurons cultured on a multi-electrode array show not only spontaneous firing, but also
network-specific burst firing, the latter of which develops into synchronous bursting. Such …

Brain-computer-interface has been come into the research limelight. Network dynamics of
neurons strongly effects to a control of computer or machine in the outer world. Dissociated …

A plastic dish with a wavelength-scale periodic structure at a bottom panel was integrally
molded and coated with thin metal films. The integrally molded dish called plasmonic dish …
