A chronic multi-electrode microdrive for small animals.
We describe a simple microdrive device appropriate for chronic microelectrode recording in rats. No precision machining is required; all parts are stock or cut from standard stock material with hand tools and assembled with epoxy. The device together with its electrodes can be discarded at the completion of the experiment.
