A method for rapid implantation of multielectrode systems.

1991

The implantation of several chronic electrodes at the same time was needed for the studies in which both evoked slow potential and multiple unit neural activity of different brain sites were recorded during classical conditioning in freely moving cats. The recording electrodes were made of 25-75 microns insulated stainless steel or nichrome wires which were inserted into a thin hypodermic needle of a fixed, calibrated length. The fast implantation system described here is based on the use of a stereotaxic frame as a stand for a drill and as a support for an electrode holder with which the electrodes were implanted through precision holes drilled directly according to the coordinates of the …
