Electrophysiology facility

Electrophysiology lab facilities are located in CBD. Marc Moreau (DR1CNRS) is the scientific responsible and Anne Bibonne (AI) is in charge of the technical assistance.

 The electrophysiological lab provides environment, materials and technical assistance for scientific project involving electrophysiological recording as well as intracellular microelectrode recording or patch clamp measurements. Any one can have access to the equipment if having the competence. An appointment with M. Moreau is necessary to discuss about the technical feasibility of the project .
