Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are two approaches to understand an extremely complex system such as the brain; namely, top-down approaches which resolve the whole system into building blocks and bottom-up approaches to construct the whole system from scratch. In this work, we aimed at (1) developing a method to detect and monitor neural spikes by combining cell-patterning techniques with NV centers in diamond for a long term and (2) understanding the spontaneous firing patterns experimentally and theoretically by constructing neuronal circuits containing only a single or a few neurons on the substrate surface.
