Electrophysiology is a fundamental part of neuroscience and there are many published laboratory exercises suitable for undergraduates. However, the cost of equipping a lab is often a barrier to implementing these exercises. In this paper, we outline lab needs, suggest strategies for building a lab incrementally by adding equipment as budgets permit, and suggest specific areas for cost-cutting. We also point out instances in which it makes most sense to purchase or borrow research-grade equipment. A linked Google document lists specific items, prices, and purchase links.
电生理学是神经科学的一个基本组成部分,有许多已发表的适合本科生的实验室练习。然而,配备实验室的成本往往是实施这些练习的一个障碍。在本文中,我们概述了实验室需求,建议了在预算允许的情况下通过增加设备逐步建立实验室的策略,并提出了具体的削减成本领域。我们还指出了购买或借用研究级设备最合理的情况。一个链接的谷歌文档列出了具体物品、价格和购买链接。
