Deep brain stimulation of the inferior colliculus: A possible animal model to study paradoxical kinesia observed in some parkinsonian patients?
2015, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The level of anesthesia was monitored by frequently checking response to tail pinch, and ketamine + xylazine were supplemented as necessary to maintain the depth of anesthesia. The microdrive and microelectrodes in use in these experiments have been described in detail by Eckhorn and Thomas [23]. Briefly, the microdrive (minimatix, Thomas Recording GmbH, Germany), fixed to the stereotaxic equipment, carries up to five stainless-steel tubes (305 μm outside diameter and 152 μm inside diameter).
Influence of unit distance and conduction velocity on the spectra of extracellular action potentials recorded with intrafascicular electrodes
2013, Medical Engineering and PhysicsCitation Excerpt :The amplitudes and shapes of compound APs (CAPs) or single units are largely influenced by the relative electrode–fiber distance [8–13]. And, this inverse relationship has been used as a means to compensate for drift between the target unit and the electrode, either manually [14,15] or automatically [16,17] with an implantable microdrive system for protracted cortical recordings. Compounding this issue, post-mortem histology of the implanted tissue shows encapsulation of the electrode by glial scarring.
Expert-like performance of an autonomous spike tracking algorithm in isolating and maintaining single units in the macaque cortex
2012, Journal of Neuroscience MethodsCitation Excerpt :In principle, this should improve the signal stability. However, modern day recordings often involve multiple recording channels with individually adjustable electrodes (Eckhorn and Thomas, 1993; Baker et al., 1999; Vos et al., 1999; Fee and Leonardo, 2001). Manual monitoring and adjusting during tracking of units, and even more so during initial search of units, becomes unfeasible, or at least very demanding in this case (Baker et al., 1999).
