A new fine-wire microelectrode made from tungsten wire is described. The electrode design provides for strength as well as flexibility due to the stiffness of tungsten wire and a gradually tapering profile. Unlike previously-used fine wire electrodes, microelectrodes of the new design can be singly implanted under electrophysiological control into deep brain structures of larger animals such as cats. The flexibility of the fine diameter terminal portion of the microelectrode permits stable recording from caudal brain stem single units during vigorous behavioral activity.
本文描述了一种由钨丝制成的新型细钢丝微电极。由于钨丝的刚度和逐渐变细的外形，该电极设计兼具强度和柔韧性。与先前使用的细钢丝电极不同，这种新设计的微电极可以在电生理控制下单独植入较大动物（如猫）的深部脑结构中。微电极细径末端部分的柔韧性允许在剧烈行为活动期间从尾侧脑干单个神经元进行稳定记录。
