Paired Patch Clamp Recording of the Neuronal Connections in Acute Brain Slices

Source: Qi, G., et al. Electrophysiological and Morphological Characterization of Neuronal Microcircuits in Acute Brain Slices Using Paired Patch-Clamp Recordings. J. Vis. Exp. (2015) This video demonstrates the procedure to map synaptic connections by securing a brain slice, positioning pipettes to achieve whole-cell configurations, and stimulating presynaptic neurons to record postsynaptic responses, thereby elucidating neuronal connectivity.
