title: An instrument for stable single cell recording from pulsating human cerebral cortex.
abstract: An instrument has been developed for positioning microelectrodes near neurons in the exposed pulsating cerebral cortex of man or animals. The electrode moves with the cortex and maintains a fixed relationship with the desired neuron. Stable extracellular single cell recordings have been obtained for 17.5 min from an exposed human brain that pulsated 1.5 mm at the surface.
