Question
Intracellular recording techniques, using sharp glass micropipettes are widely used in electrophysiology. Which of the following is NOT true about this technique?Group of answer choicesmicroelectrodes can be filled with dyes to label the cell after recordingmicroelectrode recordings only detect action potentialsmicroelectrodes are usually inserted into nerve cell bodies or large diameter processesa single microelectrodes can be used to inject current into a cell to detect its responses to electrical stimulationmicroelectrodes can often be used to detect synaptic potentials
Solution
The statement that is NOT true about intracellular recording techniques using sharp glass micropipettes is: "microelectrode recordings only detect action potentials". This is not true because microelectrode recordings can detect not only action potentials, but also other electrical activities such as synaptic potentials and subthreshold events.
