Models of the neuron, planar (GPµE) and mushroom-shaped (GMµE) microelectrodes, neuro-electronic junction (microelectrode-electrolyte interface, cleft effect, and protein-glycocalyx electric double layer) are presented. Then, neuronal electrical activity is simulated by HSPICE software, and analyzed as a function of the most sensitive biophysical models parameters such as the neuron-microelectrode cleft width, spreading and seal resistances, ion-channel densities, double-layer properties, and microelectrode geometries.
Model Type: Extracellular
