The Microchronic Recording System has been designed to permit microelectrode stimulating or recording in awake, unrestrained small animals. The System is small enough to be implanted on 300g rats yet provides access to position the microelectrode in a 2.5mm diameter tissue volume. A unique mounting arrangement permits the electrodes to be raised or lowered into tissue at a rate of 500u per cap revolution without rotation of the electrode itself. A miniature preamplifier or transmitter can be mounted near the column in the skull to help eliminate cabling artifacts.
The low cost Microchronic Recording System includes three sets of columns and caps, stainless steel recording barrels, as well as guide tubes through which the electrode is advanced and electrical connection to a remote connector is made. Also included are insulating Polyimide sheaths and tools for mounting and assembling the system. Additional caps, columns, recording barrels and tubing kits are also available.
