| | Continuous intracellular recording from mammalian neurons exposed to hyperbaric helium, oxygen, or air -- Dean and ... |
 | | Two major obstacles in these earlier studies of the mCNS were the inaccessibility of the microelectrode once the pressure chamber was sealed, which hindered replacement of a broken or plugged microelectrode, and mechanical disturbances of the tissue slice and microelectrode that occurred when sealing the hyperbaric chamber or while compressing or decompressing the chamber (33-35). |
 | | Our pressure chamber most closely resembles two previous horizontal chambers (11, 35); however, it differs primarily in the style of closure, the equipment sled that carries the brain slice chamber and microdrives, and the design of the high-pressure sample cylinders that are used for studies of CNS oxygen toxicity (29). |
 | | The pressure containment vessel, upon completion, was inspected for structural integrity, hydrostatically-pressure tested, and certified by the appropriate authority to insure the safety of the operator and avoid structural damage to the chamber. |
