Rodent (Mouse and Rat) Applications
 Introduction
Rodent applications involve recording from a freely moving or anesthetized rat or mouse. Plexon has a wide array of headstage amplifier options designed to fit the space and weight constraints involved in recording from small animals. The following types of signals are typically acquired and analyzed in experiments involving rat or mouse:
- Spike action potentials and local field potentials from depth microelectrodes and microwires
- Single electrode, stereotrode, and tetrode spike acquisition and sorting
- Digital video and LED position tracking
- Timing of sensory or behavioral events (for example, lever pressing, nose poke, light onset, among others) from commonly used operant behavioral control systems
- Stimulation onset event
- Trial onset/termination (trail-based recording)
