An inexpensive microdrive for chronic single-unit recording.

Abstract:

:A microdrive and microelectrode costing about $2.67 is described. The assembly is lightweight, compact, and versatile and is ideal for chronic single-unit recording from behaving rats. It is easy to assemble and operate and has been used successfully by undergraduates in the teaching and research laboratory.
