NeuroNexus Silicon Probes: Overview
NeuroNexus probes offer precise and reliable neural recordings for single-unit, multi-unit, and local field potential (LFP) studies, suitable for acute and chronic applications. These probes provide consistent results due to their dependable mechanical and geometric characteristics, reducing experimental variability.
Key Advantages:
- Consistent and reliable mechanical and geometric characteristics
- Large variety of designs to accommodate diverse research needs
- Seamless integration with major data acquisition systems and hardware
- Suitable for acute and chronic recording and stimulation applications
Available Probe Designs:
- Linear: Laminar design covering extensive recording areas
- Edge Sites: Electrodes positioned strategically at substrate edges
- Tetrode: Four electrode sites grouped closely for precise recordings
- Polytrode: Electrode site layouts have a mix of linear and tetrode benefits
Multi-shank: Electrode arrays provide a two-dimensional representation of the
brain.
Technical Specifications:
