Probe Usage Guide

Recommendations on probe implantation strategy

	Prepare probe When handling probe, only touch PCB board Sterilize probe for chronic experiments Impedance check Perform Activation for stimulation applications (Optional)
	Prepare animal Remove dura
	Implant Probe Acute (pictured left) Connect to headstage/microdrive first for better accuracy and to minimize post implant movement If buckling occurs, do not force insertion. Wait and let the probe work its way into tissue (may take up to 10-15 min) - Chronic (pictured right) Connect to headstage/microdrive first for better accuracy and to minimize post implant movement If buckling occurs, do not force insertion. Wait and let the probe work its way into tissue (may take up to 10-15 min)
	Connect to headstage (and/or microdrive) Adapters available
	Acquisition
	Collect data
