1	A Neuron Emulator and Headstage Circuit for Patch Clamp Setups Wu, Yen-cheng 15 August 2012 (has links) This thesis presents a neuron emulator and headstage circuit for patch clamp setups and provides simulation, measurement and verification results. The circuit implemented on a printed circuit board (PCB) is battery powered and portable. The emulator provides both passive (resting potential) and active (action potential) electrical properties of a live neuron as seen from a single electrode by using the headstage circuit. It can be used to test electrophysiological equipment such as current-clamp, voltage-clamp or patch-clamp amplifiers. The action potentials (APs) are generated with a voltage-dependent frequency controlled by a microcontroller implementing a firing range from -60 mV to -30 mV and firing frequency from 1 Hz to10 Hz. The charge released by firing the neuron is initially stored on a 110 pC capacitor. Compared to directly using a current or voltage source, this design results in a more realistic simulation of the APs generated by ionic currents in a live neuron. The measured results from a prototype demonstrate that the neuron emulator meets the design specifications and it is capable of performing voltage clamp and rate responsive current clamp functionality. Measured results using a commercial clamp amplifier are provided to confirm the emulator operation in a practical recording environment. patch clamp neuron emulator headstage single electrode action potential current clamp voltage clamp
