Abstract
Extracellular recording of nerve activities using suction electrodes is an easy yet powerful tool in characterizing neural activities in physiology and pathological conditions. Here, we model the biophysical mechanisms underlying suction technology and found that both recording site and the integrity of the neural tissue impact on the shape of the recorded activity.

Improving Suction Technology for Nerve Activity Recording
Extracellular recording of nerve activities using suction electrodes is an easy yet powerful tool in characterizing neural activities in physiology and pathological conditions. Here, we model the biophysical mechanisms underlying suction technology and found that both recording site and the integrity of the neural tissue impact on the shape of the recorded activity.
