  • A pipette that can activate individual neurons

    A pipette that can activate individual neurons

    Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can provide important insights into how individual braincells are affected, and how cells work together. The pipette could also be used for treatments. Their study has been published in the journal Small.

    “In the long term, this technology could be used to treat neurological…
