Spike Histogram Module for Macintosh

Overview:

The MLS062/7 Spike Histogram Module for Macintosh provides neuroscientist in conjunction with our PowerLab systems, the ability to record and analyze extracellular spike data in real time and offline.

This module provides the user with the ability to discriminate and analyze extracellular neural spike activity, featuring a simple dual height/width discriminator.

The Spike Histogram Module should be used with the latest version of LabChart.

The Spike Histogram Module is also available as part of LabChart Pro. The LabChart Pro software package includes all LabChart Modules. Existing LabChart users and PowerLab system purchasers can upgrade to LabChart Pro at a special price. If you need more information please contact your ADInstruments Representative.

For more information download the Software Booklet (5.83 MB) or contact your nearest ADInstruments Representative.

Sample Applications:

Spike Histogram Module can be used for the analysis of extracellular spike recordings in studies including:

• Sympathetic Nerve Activity
• Microneurography
• Extracellular Recordings

Features & Benefits:

Features of Spike Histogram include:

• Dual height and width discriminator – better discrimination than standard amplitude discriminators and faster than template matching.
• On-line discrimination and analysis – discriminate spikes as they are recorded, and if desired reanalyse off-line with modified discriminator settings.
• Autocorrelograms and crosscorrelograms – histograms that highlight periodicity in the firing of a neuron, or temporal dependence of one neuron on another.
• Interspike interval and peristimulus time histograms – examine the distribution of interspike intervals, and changes in neural firing rates due to repeated stimulus.
• Amplitude histogram – displays the distribution of spike amplitudes from different populations.
• Rate meter – plots the spike firing rate against time.
