This webinar provides an in-depth introduction to in vivo patch-clamp electrophysiology, a powerful technique for recording neuronal activity with high temporal and spatial precision.

Led by experts in systems and cellular neuroscience, the session will cover both fundamental principles and practical application, drawing on real research from cutting-edge laboratories.

Participants will:
• Gain a clear understanding of how in vivo patch-clamp recordings are performed in both awake and anaesthetised preparations
• Learn how electrophysiological techniques are used to investigate neural circuits, behaviour, and disease
• Explore practical considerations, including experimental setup, data acquisition, and troubleshooting
• Discover how these methods are applied in current research, from studying sensory processing and prediction to understanding neurodegenerative disorders

By combining technical guidance with real-world case studies, this webinar is designed to support researchers at all levels looking to incorporate electrophysiology into their work
