Intracellular Recording In Vivo and Patch-Clamp Recording on Brain Slices - Animal Models of Acute Neurological Injuries: Injury and Mechanistic Assessments - page 101

Fig. 1. An example of in vivo intracellular recording setup.
It has eight channels. We use one channel as pulse generator
and the other channels as stimulators. Iso-Flex [A.M.P.I.,
Fig. 1 (5)] is used for stimulus isolator.
5. Computer and A-D converter:
Computer is used to collect the data during experiment and
analyze data off line [Fig. 1 (4)]. A-D converter is used to con-
vert the analog signals from the amplifi er to the digital signals
that can be recognized by computer. It is also used to convert
the digital command signals from the computer to the analog
signals to control the actions of the amplifi er.
6. Data acquisition and analysis software:
Many data acquisition and analysis programs are available on
the market. pClamp (Molecular Devices, Foster City, CA) is a
popular software for PC computer users. We use Axograph
(Axograph Scientifi c) for Apple computers.
