Abstract
A chamber for neurophysiological investigations of nerve-tissue cultures, consisting essentially of a 12-electrode matrix made by spraying metal on a slide or coverslip, is described. Experiments involving recording electrical activity, stimulation, and directing the growth of a nerve-tissue culture can be carried out in such a chamber. Because of the design of the chamber the location of the electrode in the culture can be verified visually at the same time.
