A new design for an inexpensive and reliable subminiature microdrive for unit recording in the freely moving animal is presented. The 'Scribe' microdrive is (a) of a small size and low weight, (b) allows for precise advancement of the electrodes, (c) permits stable unit recordings over time, (d) is simple to install, and (e) is economical to construct. These advantages are a result of its simple, single screw-based drive system and the ready availability of component parts. The Scribe microdrive is a small diameter device suitable for multi-site, multi-electrode applications.
本文介绍了一种新型的、价格低廉且可靠的超小型微驱动器的设计,用于在自由活动的动物身上进行单位记录。“scribe”微驱动器具有以下特点:(a)尺寸小、重量轻;(b)能够精确推进电极;(c)随着时间推移可实现稳定的单位记录;(d)安装简单;(e)制造成本低。这些优点源于其基于单螺杆的简单驱动系统以及零部件易于获取。“scribe”微驱动器是一种小直径设备,适用于多部位、多电极应用。
