CMTR-96-M-NT

96 Channel Motorized Commutator.

The motorized commutator utilizes a magnetic hall-effect sensor which detects any
cable twisting when the animal moves. When twisting is detected the sensor signals
a controller board which activates a motor to adjust the commutator in the appropriate direction to untwist the cable. These systems are designed to be specifically sensitive to rat movement (though is sensitive enough for a mouse, if tethers are kept light weight and short) NeuroTek is excited to produce the F commercially available motorized commutator which permits fluid delivery during high-density electrophysiology monitoring. Currently, very few studies have incorporated high-density electrophysiology with drug delivery. However, the ability to test the impact of pharmacological manipulations on neural activity in-vivo permits us to investigate how neural activity is impacted by protein synthesis, plasticity, and basic synaptic transmission in-vivo.
