Figure 5: Schematic of the microelectrode array (MEA) recording system setup.
The following components comprise the system: (A) gas cylinder (carbogen: 95% O2/5% CO2); (B) conical flask with distilled water to humidify the gas; (C) recording Tyrode’s solution bottle that provides inflow to the MEA dish; (D) peristaltic pump to pump solution to and from the MEA dish; (E) temperature regulator; (F) MEA connector plate which receives signals from the MEA dish; (G) amplifier; (H) computer; (I) collection bottle for used waste solution from the MEA dish.
