1	Acute Effects of the Antibiotic Streptomycin on Neural Network Activity and Pharmacological Responses Zeng, Wei Rong 12 1900 (has links) The purpose of this study is to find out that if antibiotic streptomycin decreases neuronal network activity or affects the pharmacological responses. The experiments in this study were conducted via MEA (multi-electrode array) technology which records neuronal activity from devices that have multiple small electrodes, serve as neural interfaces connecting neurons to electronic circuitry. The result of this study shows that streptomycin lowered the spike production of neuronal network, and also, sensitization was seen when neuronal network pre-exposed to streptomycin. streptomycin neuronal network activity multi-electrode array MEA sensitization Streptomycin -- Physiological effect.
