A novel assembly method for 3-dimensional microelectrode array with micro-drive
2018, Sensors and Actuators, B: ChemicalCitation Excerpt :One of the main purposes of neuroscientist is to record as many neurons as possible from different brain regions, searching for behavior-related neural activities. Up to now, plenty of different electrode designs have been developed such as micro-wire bundles [4], carbon fiber arrays [5,6], polymer probes [7,8] and silicon-based microelectrode arrays (MEAs) [9–11]. Among these designs, the silicon-based Michigan microelectrode arrays (Mi-MEAs) are the most promising one due to its high-density recording sites with a strongly increased spatial resolution in a minimized dimension.
Altered neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex and globus pallidus after dopamine depletion in rats
2015, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :Animals that performed at least 80 rotations opposite to the lesioned site within 20 min following the apomorphine treatment were considered animals with successful surgery and only those were used for electrophysiological recordings. A headstage adapted from previous studies [29,30] was designed for the recording electrode assembly. Briefly, the headstage composed of a 3-pin box connector socket stripe (2.54 mm, BCSS-1-SV, Indiana, USA) with double nickel–chromium teflon-insulated microwires (California Fine Wire, Grover Beach, CA, USA, 100 μm in diameter).
