This study presents a cost-effective, portable multi-electrode system for extracellular recording of neural activity in small animals. The developed system offers comparable performance to expensive commercial equipment, enabling advanced brain function research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Bioengineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Extracellular recording is crucial for studying brain functions, but existing equipment is often expensive or too large for freely moving small animals.
  • Extracellular spikes have small amplitudes (around 100 µV), requiring specialized amplification, recording, and online analysis.
  • There is a need for practical, affordable, and portable systems for in vivo neural recordings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical and affordable multi-electrode recording system for extracellular spike acquisition in freely moving small animals.
  • To integrate microelectrode amplification, high-resolution analog input, and sophisticated data processing software.
  • To validate the system's performance against commercial standards for neuroscience research.
