#Tetrode recordings (in a bundle): did you know that you could record the same neuron on two different tetrodes?
or even three different tetrodes??
After checking that, turns out I usually have about 5-10% of neurons that are a duplicate of another neuron, in a given 8-tetrodes recording! They are pretty easy to detect with a firing rate correlation so I can remove them from analysis.
But I bet most neuron counts in published papers are inflated of that much!
Here's an example where you can see the spike plots and waveforms of 3 different, well-isolated clusters, recorded from 3 different tetrodes!

I don't think it would be possible to record a single neuron on multiple tetrodes. What is the separation between your tetrodes?
#NeuroMethods #Ephys #SpikeSorting #Tetrodes
If you do need cross-correlation code, there is mex'd cross-correlation code in MClust.
#NeuroMethods #Ephys what is the fastest way to detect potential duplicate neurons after spike-sorting?
Say you’ve recorded from multiple neurons that might be detected by multiple tetrodes, you do #SpikeSorting per tetrode, and want to detect those duplicates afterwards?
I was thinking cross-correlation across all cell pairs. But my implementation is really slow. If anyone already has code for this (Matlab or Python) I’d be happy to steal it 😬
What do #Electrophysiologists who record raw data from many channels (#NeuroPixels, #Hyperdrives…) do for data backup and storage? I just bought 2 x 4Tb external drives and it looks like they won’t be enough (at all). Is there a cheap and reliable AND huge storage way to do this?

Really cool #lightsheet #microscopy application:
An atlas of the developing mouse brain (DevATLAS from Yongsoo Kim's lab), combined with a new neuronal activity reporter line (Npas4-Cre), shows the order in which brain regions become active in the first postnatal weeks.
(And they have #ephys and #rnaseq too!)
