Cicero: General Notes

This animal is implanted bilaterly with 64 channel probes in dCA1. It also has 3 EMG wires embedded in its neck muscles (only 2 of them work). We also attach a 3-axis accelerometer.
The probes are oriented 1-6, with 1 anterior and 6 posterior. The probes are implanted parallel to the midline/long-axis of the hippocampus
    implant coordinates:

    Plug In Info: 1 on the left with the logo on the black connector pointed TOWARD the inside of the cap
    			  2 on the right/front with the logo on the black connector AWAY from the inside of the cap

Behavior:
    8/23/2014 I've established that he'll work for a solid 15 ml.
    
Physiology status:
	8/09/2014	To enable implantation, I had to ligand some of the vasculature at the insertion point. This is the somatosensory cortex.
	8/19/2014	The subject is still exhibiting some paralysis of the right whisker pad. Though, the eye seems fine (blinking and moist)
	
Probe status:
    08/09/2014	Surgery
    08/19/2014	Both probes are in or near dCA1. In fact, the left hemi is a little deep, while the right is a bit above the pyr layer
    08/20/2014	Excellent data in both hemispheres. I might make a slight adjustment to the left hemi, though
    08/22/2014	Fantastic! Best data ever! I'm not moving if I don't have to
    08/23/2014	The data still looks great in both hemis. Though, both probes seem to have moved down by 20um, even though I didn't turn the screws.
