A simple method for reconditioning epoxy-coated microelectrodes for extracellular single neuron recording.

Abstract:

:Epoxy-insulated tungsten microelectrodes can be used once or twice in our lab before the impedance becomes too low. Dipping the electrodes in epoxy followed by curing restores their initial high impedance which is associated with good isolation of single neurons. It is a cost effective and simple procedure.

  • New method for quantification and statistical analysis of nociceptive reflex receptive fields in humans.

    abstract::A method for quantifying nociceptive withdrawal reflex receptive fields in human volunteers and patients is described.
