An easily constructed, reusable, bipolar, concentric stimulation electrode for use with intracranial guide cannula assemblies.
The construction of a stimulation electrode is described. This electrode is removable and is designed to be used with intracranial guide cannula assemblies. It is a concentric, bipolar electrode, and is easy and inexpensive to assemble from materials readily available in most laboratories. A detailed description is also given of procedures to connect the electrode to stimulation equipment in a manner that would minimize interference by the test animal with the operation of the electrode.
