美国麻省理工学院和佐治亚理工学院研究人员开发出利用机器人操纵来自动发现和记录活体大脑中神经元信息的方法,即用一种全细胞膜片钳制动一个微小的空心玻璃针,在神经细胞的膜上开孔,以记录其内部电活性。这种深入大脑中神经元内部运作的方式可提供大量有用的信息,如电活性模式、细胞内部状况、甚至基因在某一时刻被闭合的剖面。然而,能够实现这个入口非常困难, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have developed the use of robotic manipulations to automatically discover and record information on neurons in living brains using a whole-cell patch-clamp method to brake a tiny hollow glass needle in nerve cells The membrane was perforated to record its internal electrical activity. This in-depth approach to the internal functioning of neurons in the brain can provide a wealth of useful information such as patterns of electroactivity, intracellular conditions, and even profiles of genes that are closed at some point. However, it is very difficult to realize this entrance,
