The tri-phasic rhythm of the STG (stomatogastric) ganglion is well studied and understood in in-vitro experiments (in a dish). My research focus is to examine whether the observed rhythm in-vitro is the statistically similar to the rhythm observed in-vivo (intact animal). This is accomplished through a microsurgery on a living crab during which a small recording electrode is implanted on the lvn (lateral ventricular nerve). The animal is then closed and long-term recordings of the rhythm on the nerve can be made. |
