Development of a brain monitoring system for multimodality investigation in awake rats.
Multimodal brain monitoring is an important approach to gain insight into brain function, modulation, and pathology. We have developed a unique micromachined neural probe capable of real-time continuous monitoring of multiple physiological, biochemical and electrophysiological variables. However, to date, it has only been used in anesthetized animals due to a lack of an appropriate interface for awake animals. We have developed a versatile headstage for recording the small neural signal and bridging the sensors to the remote sensing units for multimodal brain monitoring in awake rats. The developed system has been successfully validated in awake rats by simultaneously measuring four cerebral variables: electrocorticography, oxygen tension, temperature and cerebral blood flow. Reliable signal recordings were obtained with minimal artifacts from movement and environmental noise. For the first time, multiple variables of cerebral function and metabolism were simultaneously recorded from awake rats using a single neural probe. The system is envisioned for studying the effects of pharmacologic treatments, mapping the development of central nervous system diseases, and better understanding normal cerebral physiology.
