title: Easy construction of an improved fine wire electrode for chronic single neuron recording in freely moving animals.
abstract: 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.
