From the reading I've done, it appears that the requirements are: 3 chambers, a small chamber at either end, isolated by 'grease' that the ends of the nerve go into, and a central chamber that holds most of the nerve. The poles of the bipolar stimulator go into the proximal and central chamber, while the recording electrode goes into the distal chamber, with the reference in the central chamber (and the nerve is crushed at the point where it travels through the grease gap entering the distal chamber. Am I missing anything, or is anything wrong? I want to use it to measure conduction velocity in the nerve.
In Greece the researcher who constructs such a chamber is Professor George Theophilidis. ([email protected]).I'm sending you a paper of ours with a schematic representation of the chamber.
Hope I've helped
I'm glad! Please mind the polymer you are going to use to isolate the chambers. Best choice any plastic polymer used by dentists, cause it is not toxic and it doesn't strangle the nerve. Good luck!
