title: A gated electronic switch for stimulation and recording with a single electrode.
abstract: A circuit design is described for an electronic device which is gate controlled to rapidly switch electrode connections between a stimulator and an amplifier. An integrated switch in the circuit is operated by transistor-transistor logic pulses and will conduct analog signals of up to 15 V amplitude. Electrographic records made using the switch show multi-unit spike discharge after repetitive stimulation of the amygdala in the kindled rat.
