Which method uses microelectrodes to record the activity of neurochemicals in the extracellular fluid of freely moving animals?
A) Microdialysis
B) In vivo voltammetry
C) Stereotaxic surgery
D) Patch clamp electrophysiology

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In vivo voltammetry uses microelectrodes to measure changes in neurochemicals in the extracellular fluid of freely moving animals. Microdialysis involves the insertion of a probe into the brain tissue to measure changes in neurochemicals. Stereotaxic surgery is a method used to precisely target specific brain regions during surgery. Patch clamp electrophysiology measures the electrical activity of individual neurons.
