Abstract
We describe a modified Hamilton microsyringe that allows extracellular recording of neuronal activity and subsequent injections. It is assem bled with a Hamilton removable needle and a syringe for injection, a T eflon-coated tungsten wire for recording, and polyimide tubing as a sh eath. The device is inexpensive and easy to handle in anatomical and p hysiological experiments in awake monkeys. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science I reland Ltd. All rights reserved.
