In the field of neuroscience, micro-drive systems are used to position electrodes in order to make electrophysiology recordings. The DMCdrive is an open-source multi-tetrode for electrophysiology that costs ~$10 per micro-drive. It includes an optical fiber for optogenetic experiments and is demonstrated on freely moving mice. The device is presented in a paper on the […]

Recording Unconstrained Behaviour and Neural Activity On The Cheap
Kostas Lagogiannis recently emailed us to let us now about a June 2018 paper entailing a cheap method to monitor genetically targeted neural activity and behavior in Drosophila larvae simultaneously. The paper is written by himself, Manuela Marescotti, Barbara Webb, R. Wayne Davies and J. Douglas Armstrong The concept is to create a high throughput substitute or […]
