Extracellular recordings are recordings of electrical potentials produced by a cell, either in extracellular fluid near the cell of interest, or non-invasively. These types of recordings can be divided into three main groups; single/multiple unit recordings, whole nerve recordings, and field potentials.
Microneurography
Directly record and analyze peripheral nerve activity from humans using microneurography.
Microneurography is a technique that uses metal electrodes to record neural impulse traffic of both myelinated and unmyelinated axons in efferent and afferent neurons of the skin and muscle. By doing this, the technique can provide information about the neurophysiology of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
Microneurography can be performed using ADInstruments Neuro Amp EX together with a PowerLab for data acquisition. The Neuro Amp EX is a low-noise, high-gain amplifier which has a wide range of filters and is certified safe for human connection.
