ISFET-Like Devices Coupled to Neuroblastoma Cells: Cytometric and Electrical Characterization

One challenging goal in cell biology is to monitor “on line” the exchange of electrochemical signals between various cells of a cell population. Especially in the field of cell neurobiology, the simultaneous recording of the electrical activities of various interconnected neurons and/or the simultaneous recording of the activities in all the arborizations of a single cell are results of major importance for the understanding of the computational properties of neuronal networks.
