A new technique is described which is suitable for long-term recording of the activity of neurones in the brain of an awake, unrestrained cat. By using telescopic electrodes, neurones up to 39 mm from the cranial surface can be reached with a miniature micromanipulator which is small enough to be left in place between recording sessions. The most stable recordings have been obtained with electrodes made from microwire, with which units have been held for up to 8 h.
本文描述了一种新技术,适用于对清醒、不受束缚的猫脑神经元活动进行长期记录。通过使用伸缩式电极,用一个小型微操纵器就能接触到距颅表面达39毫米的神经元,该微操纵器体积小,记录间隙时可留在原位。使用微丝制成的电极获得了最稳定的记录,用这种电极记录单个神经元可达8小时。
