Abstract

A multielectrode probe structure is described in which several thin-film metal electrodes are defined on the outer surface of a glass micropipette using electron-beam lithography. Electrode geometries are controlled to within one micron, resulting in electrode recording characteristics which are extremely well matched. Recording sites are 5 μm wide rings spaced 100 μm apart in depth. Analysis and characterization show the structure to be capable of accurately recording tissue potentials with a minimum of tissue damage. Use of these probes in current source-density (CSD) analysis of extracellular current flow is described.
