Abstract
BackgroundDeep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is considered as a gold standard therapy for the alleviation of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This success paved the way to its application for other neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this context, we aimed to develop a rodent-specific stimulator with characteristics similar to those used in patients.
New methodWe designed a stimulator that can be connected to an electrode container with options for bilateral or unilateral stimulation selection and offers a wide range of frequencies, pulse widths and intensities, constant current, biphasic current-control and charge balancing. Dedicated software was developed to program these parameters and the device was tested on a bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model of PD.
Results The equipment was well tolerated by the animals with a good general welfare. STN stimulation (130 Hz frequency, 0.06 ms pulse width, 150 _A average intensity) improved the motor deficits induced by 6-OHDA as it significantly increased the number of movements compared to the values obtained in the same animals without STN stimulation. Furthermore, it restored motor coordination by significantly increasing the time spent on the rotarod bar.
Conclusion We successfully developed and validated a new portable and programmable stimulator for freely moving rats that delivers a large range of stimulation parameters using bilateral biphasic current-control and charge balancing to maximize tissue safety. This device can be used to test deep brain stimulation in different animal models of human brain diseases.

The Four Plates Test is an exclusivity from BIOSEB!
The Aron test allows a quick characterization of putative anxiolytics compounds in naïve animals. A must for studying anxiety, drug screening and phenotyping.

Rotarod provides an easy way to test the motor activity in rodents (mouse or rat) - an ideal solution for studying central nervous system damage, disease effects on motor activity, drugs administration, fatigue resistance, etc. Now even easier to use! The new touchscreen graphic user interface allows clear visualization of timing and speed for each lane. Change modes, adjust speed, and create protocols right from the main screen for greater flexibility with maximum functionality and usability
