TetrODrive is a lightweight, 3D printed microdrive for electrophysiology and optophysiology. Marcel Brosch and colleagues developed and shared design files and build instructions for this device. TetrODrive can be used for in vivo tetrode recording, optical imaging,...
Giovanni Barbera and colleagues have created a versatile, 3D-printed, motorized commutator for neural recordings of small animals in vivo. Commutators are important components for managing the twisting of cables during in vivo neural recordings such as...
Jumpei Matsumoto from the University of Toyama has generously shared the following about Tetroplater, an open-source circuit for microwire tetrode gold plating. “Gold plating is necessary/effective for microwire tetrodes for recording neuronal activity. For the gold...
In a 2018 Journal of Neuroscience Methods article, Lorenz Esch and colleagues present MNE Scan, a software that provides real-time acquisition and processing of electrophysiological data. MNE Scan is a state-of-the-art real-time processing software for clinical MEG...
Leila Allen and colleagues in Tim Allen’s lab at Florida International University recently developed RatHat, a self-targeting printable brain implant system. Below they describe their project: “There has not been a major change in how neuroscientists approach...
