Simultaneous Single Unit Recording in vitro with a Photoetched Laser Deinsulated Gold Multimicroelectrode Surface

Gross, Guenter W.·1979·IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

Flat photoetched gold conductors 12 μm wide and 2 μm thick, situated on a glass plate and deinsulated at their tips with single 8 ns UV laser pulses, have been utilized to record single unit extra-cellular activity from brain ganglia of the snail Helix pomatia. A fixed array of 36 such conductors, terminating in six rows and six columns in a 0.5 mm x 1 mm area, is capable of monitoring simultaneous single unit activity from numerous neurons. Spike amplitudes of 300-500 μV are generally observed from the predominant 40 μm diameter cells of these ganglia. Giant neurons usually produce signal amplitudes of over 3 mV that are simultaneously seen by many electrodes. Signals can be monitored by merely resting a locally desheathed ganglion on the recording area under its own weight in a shallow pool of Ringer. A 10 μm diameter crater in a 3-4 μm thick insulation layer has an impedance of 2-4 MΩat 1 kHz. The capacitance of this metal electrolyte interface is about 0.5 pF/μm2, suggesting that the UV laser produces a partially colloidal gold surface. With this recessed tip design, simultaneous single unit recording from small neurons appears ensured if electrode impedances are below 4 MΩ, shunt impedances are above 30 MΩ, and glia cells are not allowed to reinsulate the end of the gold conductor.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
