Metal microdrive and head cap system for silicon probe recovery in freely moving rodent
Metal microdrive and head cap system for silicon probe recovery in freely moving rodent High-yield electrophysiological extracellular recording in freely moving rodents provides a unique window into the temporal dynamics of neural circuits. Recording from unrestrained animals is critical to investigate brain activity during natural behaviors. The use and implantation of high-channel-count silicon probes represent the largest cost and experimental complexity associated with such recordings making a recoverable and reusable system desirable.
