Head mounted telemetry system for seizures monitoring and sleep scoring on non-human primate.

ABSTRACT: Radio telemetry systems are a useful way to continuously monitor broad electrical neuronal activity in behaving animals. It can also be used to study sleep disturbances or monitor seizure activity. Many different telemeter styles are available, but the more versatile and cost-efficient ones are the head mounted systems. They permit long-term recordings and allow more flexibility in the recordings. However, there are currently no such system available for non-human primate (NHP). In fact, the choices for NHP telemetry solutions are very limited. Here, we present a chronically implantable 3D printed chamber specifically designed to accommodate a rodent head-mounted system (RodentPACK) onto a NHP's head. We recorded EEG signal for more than a year, confirmed quality of the signal, and the abi
