About

The UVA Animal EEG and Electrophysiology Core is a newly established provisional core designed to connect researchers with electroencephalography and electrophysiology services and expertise at UVA. Support for the core comes in part through the School of Medicine and the Grand Challenges Research Investments in Brain and Neuroscience.

The recording of brain rhythms using electroencephalography (EEG) serves as a readout for the function of brain networks. UVA has long been recognized for its ability to record small animal EEGs, and with an increasing focus on understanding the development of brain circuits, there is more demand for related services and instrumentation. A core that is dedicated to the acquisition neurophysiological (EEG), in combination with animal behavior and genomic data from animal models, enables direct comparison to humans.
