The animation and simulator were created in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biomedical Communications (MScBMC). The program is offered through the Institute of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto in collaboration with the Department of Biology, University of Toronto Mississauga.
The micro-optrode was developed by researchers at Laval University. Scientific content was taken primarily from the following article:
LeChasseur, Yoan, Suzie Dufour, Guillaume Lavertu, Cyril Bories, Martin Deschênes, Réal Vallée, and Yves De Koninck. "A microprobe for parallel optical and electrical recordings from single neurons in vivo." Nature Methods 8, no. 4 (2011): 319-325.
