- | Multi-electrode arrays are widely used in studies of the central (CNS: e.g. Cortex, Hippocampus; retina, Suprachiasmatic Nucleus, SCN) and peripheral (PNS: e.g. Dorsal Root Ganglion, DRG) nervous system, as well as myocardial and other excitable tissue (e.g. smooth muscle). Extracellular stimulation and recording can be combined with patch clamping, microscopic visualization, or other methods (e.g. Ca ++ imaging) used to examine relationships between structure and function. | + | MED64 system available for the multiarray recording equipment |
+ | brain slices or cultured nerve cells pass signals up to 64 channels at once in the recording can be. | ||
+ | The advantages of this equipment that can not be any other recording system in the brain slices in the circuit is useful for research. | ||

+ | <!--The MED system is well suited for experiments using acute slices as well as slice (and cell) cultures. The low impedance of of Pt. black electrodees (7-10 khom at 1 kHz tycpially) enables to acquire several types of signals (from slow-wave to spike signals) easily. | ||

Ⅰ. Neuralynx Electrophysiological Data Acquisition System - Neuralynx cheetah system allows collecting electrophysiological signals through multiple channels (expandable up to 1024 channels). For example, it is possible to carry out electrophysiologically recording multiple single unit responses simultaneously in freely behaving animals.
Ⅱ. Eight-core machine - A computer with eight CPUs working in parallel with large memory capacity to analyze a large dataset such as electrophysiological dataset recorded in parallel from multiple channels.
Ⅲ. Stereotaxic surgical system - Stereotaxic surgical systems are used to surgically target a specific brain region by putting the animal’s head in a multi-dimensional coordinates. For example, certain brain regions can be lesioned or electrodes can be implanted in a specific brain area through stereotaxic neurosurgery.
