IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: A robotic fast dual-arm patch clamp system with controllable mechanical stimulation is proposed in this paper for mechanosensitive excitability research of neurons in brain slice.

Deep Learning-Based Ion Channel Kinetics Analysis for Automated Patch Clamp Recording.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
The patch clamp technique is a fundamental tool for investigating ion channel dynamics and electrophysiological properties. This study proposes the first artificial intelligence framework for characterizing multiple ion channel kinetics of whole-cell...

The evolution of patch-clamp electrophysiology: Robotic, multiplex, and dynamic.

Molecular pharmacology
The patch-clamp technique has been the gold standard for analysis of excitable cells. Since its development in the 1980s, it has contributed immensely to our understanding of neurons, muscle cells, and cardiomyocytes and the ion channels and receptor...

Ensemble learning and ground-truth validation of synaptic connectivity inferred from spike trains.

PLoS computational biology
Probing the architecture of neuronal circuits and the principles that underlie their functional organization remains an important challenge of modern neurosciences. This holds true, in particular, for the inference of neuronal connectivity from large...

Automatic deep learning-driven label-free image-guided patch clamp system.

Nature communications
Patch clamp recording of neurons is a labor-intensive and time-consuming procedure. Here, we demonstrate a tool that fully automatically performs electrophysiological recordings in label-free tissue slices. The automation covers the detection of cell...

Application of Machine-Learning Methods to Recognize mitoBK Channels from Different Cell Types Based on the Experimental Patch-Clamp Results.

International journal of molecular sciences
(1) Background: In this work, we focus on the activity of large-conductance voltage- and Ca2+-activated potassium channels (BK) from the inner mitochondrial membrane (mitoBK). The characteristic electrophysiological features of the mitoBK channels ar...

Deep-Channel uses deep neural networks to detect single-molecule events from patch-clamp data.

Communications biology
Single-molecule research techniques such as patch-clamp electrophysiology deliver unique biological insight by capturing the movement of individual proteins in real time, unobscured by whole-cell ensemble averaging. The critical first step in analysi...

PatcherBot: a single-cell electrophysiology robot for adherent cells and brain slices.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intracellular patch-clamp electrophysiology, one of the most ubiquitous, high-fidelity techniques in biophysics, remains laborious and low-throughput. While previous efforts have succeeded at automating some steps of the technique, here we...

Autonomous patch-clamp robot for functional characterization of neurons in vivo: development and application to mouse visual cortex.

Journal of neurophysiology
Patch clamping is the gold standard measurement technique for cell-type characterization in vivo, but it has low throughput, is difficult to scale, and requires highly skilled operation. We developed an autonomous robot that can acquire multiple cons...
