A non-invasive head-holding device for chronic neural recordings in awake behaving monkeys.
BACKGROUND We have developed a novel head-holding device for behaving non-human primates that affords stability suitable for reliable chronic electrophysiological recording experiments. The device is completely non-invasive, and thus avoids the risk of infection and other complications that can occur with the use of conventional, surgically implanted head-fixation devices. NEW METHOD The devi...
متن کاملConstruction of microdrive arrays for chronic neural recordings in awake behaving mice.
State-of-the-art electrophysiological recordings from the brains of freely behaving animals allow researchers to simultaneously examine local field potentials (LFPs) from populations of neurons and action potentials from individual cells, as the animal engages in experimentally relevant tasks. Chronically implanted microdrives allow for brain recordings to last over periods of several weeks. Mi...
متن کاملRethinking tuning: in vivo whole-cell recordings of the inferior colliculus in awake bats.
Tuning curves were recorded with patch electrodes from the inferior colliculus (IC) of awake bats to evaluate the tuning of the inputs to IC neurons, reflected in their synaptic tuning, compared with the tuning of their outputs, expressed in their discharge tuning. A number of unexpected features were revealed with whole-cell recordings. Among these was that most neurons responded to tones with...
متن کاملSparse odor coding in awake behaving mice.
Responses of mitral cells represent the results of the first stage of odor processing in the olfactory bulb. Most of our knowledge about mitral cell activity has been obtained from recordings in anesthetized animals. We compared odor-elicited changes in firing rate of mitral cells in awake behaving mice and in anesthetized mice. We show that odor-elicited changes in mitral cell firing rate were...
متن کاملNeurovascular Coupling Studies in Awake-behaving Mice
The mechanism regulating cerebral blood fl ow (CBF) during brain function (neurovascular coupling) has been widely investigated in animals under anesthetized conditions, though anesthesia is known to greatly aff ect neurovascular physiology. The present study aims to develop a novel model for neurovascular coupling studies in awake-behaving mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were initially anesthetized w...
