Printed circuit microelectrodes and their application to honeybee brain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of printed circuit technology to the production of a new type of multi-channel microelectrode is described. 2. Recordings have been obtained from the the protocerebrum of the honeybee Apis mellifera L. using printed circuit microelectrodes in both restrained and free-moving preparations. 3. These recordings are compared with those previously obtained from conventional probe microelectrodes and are found to have similar characteristics of transient voltage changes superimposed on an undifferentiated high frequency background. 4. A wide range of development possibilities for the printed circuit microelectrode are discussed.

Clearance of extracellular potassium: evidence for spatial buffering by glial cells in the retina of the drone.
Work with ion-selective microelectrodes on the retina of the honeybee drone has shown that potassium is released from photoreceptors during activity and enters glial cells. Measurements of the extracellular voltage gradients indicate that, in this preparation, currents flowing through the glial cells in the 'spatial buffer' pattern account for a large fraction of the glial K+ entry in the activ...
متن کاملAmperometric Monitoring of Sensory-Evoked Dopamine Release in Awake Larval Zebrafish.
UNLABELLED Dopamine plays crucial roles in a broad spectrum of brain functions, and neural circuit mechanisms underlying dopaminergic regulation have been intensively studied in the past decade. As larval zebrafish have relatively simple and highly conserved dopaminergic systems, it can serve as an ideal vertebrate animal model to tackle this issue at a whole-brain scale. For this purpose, it i...
متن کاملA silicon-based microelectrode array with a microdrive for monitoring brainstem regions of freely moving rats.
OBJECTIVE Exploring neural activity behind synchronization and time locking in brain circuits is one of the most important tasks in neuroscience. Our goal was to design and characterize a microelectrode array (MEA) system specifically for obtaining in vivo extracellular recordings from three deep-brain areas of freely moving rats, simultaneously. The target areas, the deep mesencephalic reticul...

This article reports the use of commercial, flexible printed circuit technology for the fabrication of low-cost microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for recording extracellular electrical signals from cardiomyocyte cultures. A 36-electrode array has been designed and manufactured using standard, two-layer, polyimide-based flexible circuit technology, with electrode diameters of 75 and 100 m. Copper str...
متن کاملCortical signal recording using an economical microelectrode fabricated on printed circuit board
This work presents a simple, flexible and economical microwire array electrode for extracellular cortical recordings. The proposed procedure is relatively simple, even for a novice worker to implement in-house. These main steps include design and sculpturing PCB, straightening microwires, connecting PCB pattern, arraying and soldering microwires and packaging the microelectrode. A practiced res...
