Neuro-electrophysiology: from Patch-Clamp to In Vivo Recordings - ENGLISH Course Présentiel
Dernière mise à jour : 20/11/2025
Description
This workshop involves two modules onsite. The first module is a 3-day interactive course (8h/day), organized into half-day sessions. Each session includes a theoretical presentation by one of the instructors followed by collective activities, aimed at interpreting and communicating electrophysiological data from scientific literature. The second module is a 2-day immersive experience (9h/day) in an electrophysiology partner lab at IPMC and includes: sample preparation, recording acquisition and post hoc analysis of collected data.
Days 1 to 3
- Fundamental principles of neuronal activity and bioelectricity
- Synaptic plasticity and field recordings
- Patch-clamp to access neuronal excitability
- Synaptic transmission - Patch-clamp coupled to optogenetics
- In vivo recordings from signal unit to network oscillations
Days 4 and 5
- Hands on training at IPMC. It includes sample preparation, recording acquisition and post hoc analysis of
collected data
