Measuring the dynamics of neural processing across time scales requires following spiking thousands individual neurons over milliseconds and months. To address this need, we introduce Neuropixels 2.0 probe together with newly designed analysis algorithms. The has more than 5000 sites is miniaturized to facilitate chronic implants in small mammals recording during unrestrained behavior. High-quality recordings long were reliably obtained mice rats six laboratories. Improved site density...

Abstract To study the dynamics of neural processing across timescales, we require ability to follow spiking thousands individually separable neurons over weeks and months, during unrestrained behavior. address this need, introduce Neuropixels 2.0 probe together with novel analysis algorithms. The new has 5,000 sites is miniaturized such that two probes plus a headstage, recording 768 at once, weigh just 1 g, suitable for implanting chronically in small mammals. Recordings high quality...

Long-term electrophysiological recordings of neural activity in freely behaving animals are indispensable to advance the understanding complex brain function. It is a technical challenge chronically monitor detailed across multiple distributed regions over period months. Here we present new implant for inserting flexible polyimide probes into rats monitoring long time period.This integrates small micromanipulator devices that ensure free behaviour animal. The micromachined and positioning...
