Electrophysiology

The Electrophysiology Core consists of two facilities. Salk Electrophysiology Facility and Burnham Electrophysiology Facility. Both facilities can perform patch-clamp intracellular and extracellular field recordings on a range of material including cultured cells and brain slices.  The Salk facility emphasizes acute and cultured brain slices as well as cultured cells, whereas the BIMR facility emphasizes electrophysiological analysis of cultured cells and the detailed electrical properties of channels, receptors and recombinant proteins expressed in  Xenopus oocytes or mammalian cells.
