TL;DR: The possibility to trigger neural activity in vitro and in vivo by modulating membrane capacitance, without directly affecting ion channels or local temperature, is demonstrated.
Book ChapterDOI
Giving names to the actors of synaptic transmission: The long journey from synaptic vesicles to neural plasticity
TL;DR: More than a scientific paper or a review article, this is a remembrance of a unique time of science and life that the authors spent in Paul Greengard's laboratory at the Rockefeller University in New York in the 1980s and 1990s, forming the so-called synaptic vesicle group as discussed by the authors.

Magnetic Tunnel Junction Based Chip to Detect the Magnetic Field of Neuronal Signals: A Platform for In Vitro Studies
Daniela Moretti,Parikshit Pratim Sharma,Daniela Petti,Edoardo Albisetti,Riccardo Bertacco,Pietro Baldelli,Fabio Benfenati +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a platform based on MR sensors array, namely magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) to detect the activity of neurons in culture from a magnetic point of view and achieves the biocompatibility conditions of a MR platform suitable for studying the magnetic field generated by theActivity of in vitro neuronal networks.
