Breakthrough methods for in vivo electrophysiology now allow scientists to perform whole-cell recording of neurons in freely moving rats. Npi electronic’s ELC amplifier and mini-headstage have made it possible for this advanced research. The results from these recordings provide a better understanding into the mechanisms underlying neural activity during natural behaviors.

Epidural cortical signals were detected with npi electronic’s EXT 10-2F differential amplifier to study relationships between calcium signals and electrical activity. Two-photon calcium imaging followed by optical fiber recordings make it possible to record global ‘up states’ of the epidural potentials.

Wide-field ratiometric fluorescence imaging combined with in vivo recordings of local field, using npi electronic’s ELC-03XS, allows for longitudinal studies that optical imaging methods limit. It is now possible to study the long term stability and plasticity of cortical sensory representations.
