A microdialysis probe is described that can simultaneously monitor ind
ices of electrical activity, ionic homeostasis and changes in the comp
osition of the extracellular fluid at the same brain site in anaesthet
ised laboratory animals. The probe is no larger than its conventional
counterpart and avoids tissue injury problems due to implantation of s
eparate recording electrodes. Examples are given of its application to
the study of changes following probe implantation, cerebral ischaemia
and local high K+-induced depolarisation.
