Embedded Based Solution for Intracortical and Intracranial Microstimulations for Assessing the Behaviour of Rodents

Brain Stimulation has increased its popularity as it is an active and approved treatment for various neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is imperative to assess multiple states in animal models. For exploring the working model of Intracortical, Intracranial and Deep Brain Stimulations(DBS), behavioural animal models are crucial, and especially animal models are essential to probe into the underlying specific behaviours related to neurological disorders. This work depicts the evaluation of compact, lightweight remote communication based on Embedded Components for animal models in comparison with other models. Complete schematics of the design is described to ensure the reliability of this work. This device can be used as a hand tool to know the underlying theory of Brain Stimulation inside the behavioural animal model for neurological and psychiatric issues.
