Bioluminescence as a Tool to Monitor Neural Activity in Freely Behaving Animals

A wireless system with a motorized microdrive for neural recording in freely behaving animals(モーター駆動型マイクロドライブによる神経活動 の無線記録システムの開発) Recordings from single neurons in freely behaving animals provide insights into the brain functions in the natural state. However, isolating activity of single neurons

Whole-brain calcium imaging with cellular resolution in freely behaving C. elegans

The ability to acquire large-scale recordings of neuronal activity in awake and unrestrained animals poses a major challenge for studying neural coding of animal behavior. We present a new instrument capable of recording intracellular calcium transients from every neuron in the head of a freely behaving C. elegans with cellular resolution while simultaneously recording the animal’s position, po...

A programmable closed-loop recording and stimulating wireless system for behaving small laboratory animals

A portable 16-channels microcontroller-based wireless system for a bi-directional interaction with the central nervous system is presented in this work. The device is designed to be used with freely behaving small laboratory animals and allows recording of spontaneous and evoked neural activity wirelessly transmitted and stored on a personal computer. Biphasic current stimuli with programmable ...

Innovative Methodology Wireless Neural Stimulation in Freely Behaving Small Animals

Arfin SK, Long MA, Fee MS, Sarpeshkar R. Wireless neural stimulation in freely behaving small animals. J Neurophysiol 102: 598–605, 2009. First published April 22, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.00017.2009. We introduce a novel wireless, low-power neural stimulation system for use in freely behaving animals. The system consists of an external transmitter and a miniature, implantable wireless receiver–sti...
