Description
The National Institute of Health (NIH), National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) intends to award a sole source contract for Home-cage Electrophysiology Recording Equipment. The equipment will be used to study the role of thalamocortical circuits in psychiatric disorders. The contract will be for a period of 12 months. The equipment includes eight head stage loggers for wireless recording, a recording system for signal acquisition, and other necessary items for interfacing and synchronizing the probes with the system.
• The equipment will be used for chronic neural probes to selectively record from specific cortical regions.
• The system is designed to record from neural probes for experiments with a primate model (i.e., marmoset monkey).
• The equipment is expected to be fully functional for greater than five years with minor service, as required.
