Expert Solution

Step 1: Intracellular & Extracellular recording

Intracellular recording is a technique that involves inserting a microelectrode into the membrane of a neuron to directly measure its membrane potential and intracellular activities.

Extracellular recording, on the other hand, entails attaching electrodes to the outside of a neuron to detect electrical signals generated by groups of neurons, providing information about their collective activity but not individual membrane potentials.
