Abstract
This article discusses several of the currently used methodologies for reco rding from brain slices. Aspects of slice preparation as well as appropriat e uses for the various slice models (i.e., thin or thick slices) are consid ered. The merits of extracellular and intracellular electrophysiological re cording and their uses are discussed. In addition, mechanisms of neuronal c ircuit activation and stimulation are presented.
