Easy construction of an improved fine wire electrode for chronic single neuron recording in freely moving animals.
An easy and improved method for construction and implantation of fine wire electrodes is described. These electrodes have been found to be effective in long-term recording of single unit activity in freely behaving and ingesting animals when chronically implanted in any region of the brain in rats.
