Material below is adapted from the SfN Short Course Correlating Cellular Morphology, Physiology, and Gene Expression Using Patch-seq, by Cathryn R. Cadwell, PhD, and Andreas S. Tolias, PhD. Short Courses are day-long scientific trainings on emerging neuroscience topics and research techniques held the day before SfN’s annual meeting.
In the quest to understand the brain, gathering information about the ways neurons communicate is essential. Coupling cell type analysis with electrophysiological measurements obtained through patch-clamping, a host of techniques that measure electrical activity in neurons, has the potential to reveal new insights about how specific neuronal cell types communicate, and thus how the brain works.
