A ball-joint manipulator for microelectrode recording

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology

Abstract

The conventional technique for single unit recording involves insertion of microelectrodes into the brain along an axis which is perpendicular to the cross-sectional plan of a recording chamber. Thus, only tissue that lies within the projection of the recording chamber can be reached. This limitation is overcome by use of a ball-joint manipulator which enables insertion of electrodes into the brain at a wide range of tilt angles. Construction of the ball-joint manipulator and the method by which the stereotactic location of the electrode recording tip is determined are described in the present note.
