Abstract

To investigate the hypothesis that dynamic nanoscale stimuli can influence central nerve systems functioning, in this paper we develop a chip based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) soft lithography which exerts nanoscale mechanical loads on an in vitro neuronal network by microfluidic pneumatic deformation of a membrane. Initial analysis on Calcium ion (Ca²⁺) imaging within rat primary cortical networks shows increased Ca²⁺activities in the neuronal network after a stimuli was introduced, indicating that the neuronal networks respond to the mechanical stimulus.
