A lightweight telemetry system for recording neuronal activity in freely behaving small animals.
A miniature lightweight radio telemetric device is described which is shown to be suitable for recording neuronal activity in freely behaving animals. Its size (12 x 5 x 8 mm) and weight (1.0-1.1 g with batteries, 0.4-0.5 g without) make the device particularly suitable for recording neuronal units in small animals such as mice or zebra finches. The device combines a high impedance preamplifier...
متن کاملA wireless neural recording system with a precision motorized microdrive for freely behaving animals
The brain is composed of many different types of neurons. Therefore, analysis of brain activity with single-cell resolution could provide fundamental insights into brain mechanisms. However, the electrical signal of an individual neuron is very small, and precise isolation of single neuronal activity from moving subjects is still challenging. To measure single-unit signals in actively behaving ...
متن کاملMiniature stereo radio transmitter for simultaneous recording of multiple single-neuron signals from behaving owls.
Wireless radiotelemetric transmission of neuronal activity is an elegant technique to study brain-behavior interaction in unrestrained animals. In the current study, a miniature FM-stereo radio transmitter is described that permitted simultaneous recordings from two microelectrodes in behaving barn owls. Input from two independent channels is multiplexed to form a stereo composite signal that m...
متن کاملActive Stabilization of Electrodes for Intracellular Recording in Awake Behaving Animals
Intracellular recording is a powerful electrophysiology technique that has revealed much of what is known about the biophysical properties of neurons. However, neuronal properties are strongly affected by activity dependent and modulatory influences, making it essential, ultimately, to study these properties in behaving animals. Unfortunately, intracellular recording has only been widely applie...
متن کاملFiberoptic system for recording dendritic calcium signals in layer 5 neocortical pyramidal cells in freely moving rats.
Calcium influx into the dendritic tufts of layer 5 neocortical pyramidal neurons modifies a number of important cellular mechanisms. It can trigger local synaptic plasticity and switch the firing properties from regular to burst firing. Due to methodological limitations, our knowledge about Ca2+ spikes in the dendritic tuft stems mostly from in vitro experiments. However, it has been speculated...
