The first ever recording at AURORA

I decided the name of the new rig to be AURORA. It is finally getting a shape, and last Thursday, I put iNeurons* under the microscope of the rig. My colleague, Dr. Eline van Hugte has been growing the neurons in another laboratory (of Dr. Marijn Kuipers).

They looked nice and I decided to give a try to do the recording from them by patch clamp recording technique. And I succeeded it!

So, in about one month (starting from the beginning of May), I succeeded to build the new rig and record from iNeurons.

Happy.

*cultured neurons derived from stem cells sample from human hosts, a techique called iPSC, induced pluripotent stem cell
