Finite element modeling of the neuron-electrode interface.

The electrical contact between an embedded microelectrode and a cultured neuron depends on the geometry of the neuron-electrode interface. The contact is improved when the electrode is covered, or sealed, completely by the neuron. In this article, the finite element method is proposed as a tool for...
