Summary

• Enabling Technologies for Cultured Neural Networks is the first integrated compilation of recent technological advances relevant to the control and study of mammalian neurons in vitro, providing extensive coverage of the design, fabrication, and use of integrated microelectronic devices in neurobiology.
• Topics addressed include the isolation and controlled survival, growth, and physiology of cultured mammalian neurons, including geometric growth of neurons; improved, noninvasive neuronal stimulation and recording methods, including advanced microelectrode and optical techniques; and theoretical and experimental frameworks for modeling and analyzing data.
• This text will prove important to neuron culture students and researchers; to neuroscientists seeking new information on techniques applicable to preparations other than cultured neurons; to chemists interested in biological interfaces; and to biomedical engineers interested in the interdisciplinary nature of the field.
