A modified microsyringe for extracellular recording of neuronal activity.
We describe a modified Hamilton microsyringe that allows extracellular recording of neuronal activity and subsequent injections. It is assembled with a Hamilton removable needle and a syringe for injection, a Teflon-coated tungsten wire for recording, and polyimide tubing as a sheath. The device is inexpensive and easy to handle in anatomical and physiological experiments in awake monkeys.
