Extracellular recording of single neurons has been one of the key techniques to investigate neural activity in freely behaving animals for more than 60 years. Improvement of recording technology including electrode profiles, configurations, and driving mechanisms has led to the significant increase of the number of simultaneously recorded neurons, yielding important findings in neuroscience. In this lecture, we will review the basic physics of extracellular electrophysiology, the types of signals that can be recorded by extracellular electrodes, and the technical developments of extracellular electrophysiology in freely behaving animals. The lecture will also cover essential concepts in sleep and memory as well as computational methods for the analysis of electrophysiological data. We will showcase a research example of detection of memory reactivation together with neural networks modeling of memory function.藤澤茂義先生 (理化学研究所 脳神経科学研究センター・チームリーダ)

近年の神経細胞活動技術や遺伝学技術の大きな発展により、神経細胞が集団としてどのようなダイナミクスを形成して情報処理を行っているのかについて、多くの知見が得られてきている。 本講義では、海馬の神経集団活動と神経オシレーションに注目し、海馬における時間・空間についての情報処理と記憶形成のメカニズムについて考察していく。
