Latest Neuropixels probes can track neurons over weeks

A new generation of miniature recording probes can track the same neurons inside tiny mouse brains over weeks — and even months.

April 22, 2021

LEUVEN (Belgium), April 20, 2021 — The new tools build on the success of the original Neuropixels probes released in 2017 and currently used in more than 400 labs. Neuropixels 2.0 are much smaller — about a third the size of their predecessors. They’re designed to record the electrical activity from more individual neurons and have the unique ability to track this activity over extended time periods. That makes them especially useful for studying long-term phenomena like learning and memory in small animals such as mice, says Tim Harris, a senior fellow at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus … Read More → "Latest Neuropixels probes can track neurons over weeks"
