    Recording of Network-Wide Intracellular Activity and Mapping of Synaptic Connections Using Microhole Electrode Arrays
    (Springer Nature, 2025-02-11) Wang, Jun; Jung, Woo-Bin; Gertner, Rona; Park, Hongkun; Ham, Donhee
    Network-wide parallelization of neuronal intracellular recording and quantification of synaptic connections and their strengths is a challenge still open in neuroscience, with a mapping limit of ~300 connections. Here, we report a 4,096 microhole electrode array on a semiconductor chip for parallel intracellular recording and synaptic connectivity mapping of rat neuronal cultures using electroporation. The microholes are etched from a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor chip, and the final surface is coated with platinum black to increase roughness and the neuronal interface. The microhole array allows up to 90% average intracellular coupling rate with high coupling fidelity, generating network-wide intracellular recording data containing synaptic signals, and allows regaining intracellular coupling on the same neurons. We extract 70,000+ plausible synaptic connections amongst 2,000+ neurons, and catalogue them into inhibitory, weak/uneventful excitatory, strong/eventful excitatory chemical synaptic connections, and electrical synaptic connections, with an estimated overall error rate of around 5%. The reported scale of chemical and electrical synaptic mapping combines the advantages of patch clamp and extracellular multi-electrode array recordings, providing valuable insights into large-scale neural connectivity.

    Synaptic connectivity mapping among thousands of neurons via parallelized intracellular recording with a microhole electrode array
    (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2025-02-11) Wang, Jun; Jung, Woo-Bin; Gertner, Rona; Park, Hongkun; Ham, Donhee
    Massive parallelization of neuronal intracellular recording, which can measure synaptic signals across a network and thus can enable the mapping and characterization of synaptic connections, is a challenge still open in neuroscience, with the state-of-the-art limited to a mapping of ~300 synaptic connections. Here, we report a 4,096 platinum/platinum-black microhole electrode array fabricated on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor electronic chip that substantially advances parallel intracellular recording and synaptic connectivity mapping. The microhole-neuron interface, together with current-clamp electronics in the underlying semiconductor chip, allows 90% average intracellular coupling rate with rat neuronal cultures, generating network-wide intracellular recording data that abound with synaptic signals. From these data we extract 70,000+ plausible synaptic connections amongst 2,000+ neurons, and catalogue them into inhibitory, weak/uneventful excitatory, and strong/eventful excitatory chemical synaptic connections, and electrical synaptic connections, with an estimated overall error rate of around 5%. The reported scale of synaptic connection mapping, with the ability to characterize synaptic connections, provides a step toward functional connectivity mapping of a large-scale neuronal network.
