ECT Unit (Electroconvulsive-Therapy) – threshold detection
Description Of ECT Unit (Electroconvulsive-Therapy) – threshold detection
Background
- Particularly useful for neurochemical and neuropharmacological research such as;
- General screening of potentially neurotropic substances
- Evaluating the depressant or stimulating action of drugs on the CNS
- Endocrinological investigations on the relationship between the nervous system and the hypophysis.
Accurate and reproducible
- A constant current stimulator ensures reproducible results and accurate determination of the EC threshold.
- The impedance to the animal can be pre-measured and displayed. A warning is provided if the impedance is too great to deliver the desired current level, rather than the most suitable range for mice or rats.
- The Electroconvulsive Device is supplied with auricular (ear lobe) electrodes that allow an operator to deliver shock to a number of animals in a short time.
- Pinpoints variations in the threshold affected by drug action on cortex and sub-cortical regions.
- Can be used with other electrodes allowing for virtually any procedure.
- Analog output for connection to an oscilloscope or data acquisition system.
- An optional Biphasic Unit box may be placed between the animal and the Electroconvulsive Device to invert every other pulse. Maximum frequency in this case becomes 100Hz.
- Corneal electrodes are optional. Also custom designed electrodes are available on request.
