Microelectrode recording

Microelectrode recording is a technique used by doctors to listen to the electrical signals of individual brain cells. A tiny electrode is inserted into specific brain areas to measure the activity of neurons, helping surgeons identify precise locations during procedures like deep brain stimulation. This method provides real-time, detailed information about neural function, enabling more accurate targeting for treatment. It is a safe and effective way to map brain activity, ensuring interventions are precise and minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
