A chronically implantable, hybrid cannula–electrode device for assessing the effects of molecules on electrophysiological signals in freely behaving animals

Abstract

We describe a device for assessing the effects of diffusible molecules on electrophysiological recordings from multiple neurons. This device allows for the infusion of reagents through a cannula located among an array of micro-electrodes. The device can easily be customized to target specific neural structures. It is designed to be chronically implanted so that isolated neural units and local field potentials are recorded over the course of several weeks or months. Multivariate statistical and spectral analysis of electrophysiological signals acquired using this system could quantitatively identify electrical "signatures" of therapeutically useful drugs.

Additional Information

We thank Richard Andersen for his support of this work. This work was funded by a McGrath Foundation grant to Paul H. Patterson, NIH grants R01 EY013337 and R01 EY0155445 to Richard Andersen, and NIH training grant NS007251-18 support for Bradley Greger, and the brain injury fund of Dr. Peter Gruen, which supported Babak Kateb. This work would not have been possible without the precise work of Martin Bak (Micro Probe, Inc.), who implemented the design of the cannula–electrode-pump hybrid system.
