From technique to discovery, explore how in vivo patch-clamp electrophysiology is shaping neuroscience research.
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



Principal Investigator, University of Edinburgh
Dr Rebecca Jordan is Principal Investigator and Simons ESAT Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, where she leads the Prediction and Plasticity Lab within the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences. Her research focuses on how the brain learns to predict sensory input and integrate sensory and motor information to support perception and behaviour. She uses a combination of cutting-edge systems neuroscience techniques, including in vivo electrophysiology, two-photon imaging, optogenetics, and virtual reality paradigms, to investigate cortical circuit function and learning mechanisms.
Senior Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh
Dr Soraya Meftah is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the UK Dementia Research Institute and Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on the neurophysiology of dementia, investigating synaptic, neuronal, and network dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.Please accept {{cookieConsents}} cookies to view this content
