In this Science Spotlight episode, Dr. Stuart Greenhill showcases innovative wireless implants designed to simultaneously stimulate and record neural activity in live, freely moving rodents. This cutting-edge technology provides high-fidelity, long-term brain data collection while aligning with the ethical "three R's": refinement, reduction and replacement of animal use in research.
Watch this episode to understand how to:
- Wirelessly stimulate and record brain signals in live, freely moving rats
- Reduce the number of animals used in research while enhancing data quality
- Improve animal models for epilepsy, schizophrenia and cognitive disorders
