Magnetophysiology of Brain Slices Using an HTS SQUID Magnetometer System

  • Chapter
Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

A high-transition-temperature superconducting quantum interference device (HTS SQUID) system has been developed and employed in neuromagnetic measurements of evoked fields from in vitro brain slices. Transverse hippocampal slices from rat were prepared and measured. The evoked neuronal activity produced neuromagnetic fields of ~5 pT.
