Purchase of an apparatus to record the brain activity of behaving head-fixed rodents

Kort beskrivelse

Aarhus University will be investing in an apparatus to record the brain activity of behaving head-fixed rodents for the Department for BioMedicine.

The purpose of the equipment is to provide a system for optical and electrophysiological recordings combined with behavioral paradigms in awake mice. An essential feature of the equipment is to combine head fixation to allow stable brain activity detection with behavioural settings in order to correlate brain activity with a certain brain state (e.g., wakwfulness, sleep) or bahaviour (learning) in rodents.
