Video Electroencephalogram Recording
Objective: Video electroencephalogram recording for 24-hour continuous monitoring of seizure activity and assessment of seizure severity in mouse models
This is a Video Electroencephalogram Recording protocol using Mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 6 procedural steps, 2 equipment items, 4 materials. Extracted from a 2026 paper published in CNS Neurosci Ther.
Model and subjects
Mouse • C57BL/6 and VGAT-ires-Cre mice • Male • approximately 8 weeks old • Not specified for vEEG recording specifically
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Electrode placement preparation • Electrode installation • Wire connection
Primary readouts
- Seizure onset and termination timing based on EEG signals
- Seizure severity using revised Racine scale (-1 to 7)
- Continuous spike-wave discharge patterns
- Tonic-clonic seizure assessment
Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Electrode placement preparation
Position monitoring electrode around hippocampus projection, ground and reference electrodes at specified coordinates
View evidence from paper
“single point monitoring electrode around the skull surface of the hippocampus projection (the central cranial planar projection coordinates: AP‐2.50, ML ±2.50)”
Electrode installation
Insert three stainless steel screws into skull and fix with dental cement
View evidence from paper
“skull electrodes were then inserted and securely fixed using dental cement”
Wire connection
Connect silver wires from screws to row pins for signal transmission
View evidence from paper
“These screws were then entwined by wrapped silver wires connected to the needle of the row pins”
Signal acquisition setup
Connect mice to NeuSen H system starting on 8th day post-surgery
View evidence from paper
“mice were connected to the NeuSen H signal acquisition system for 24‐h continuous monitoring, commencing on the 8th day post‐surgery”
Recording duration
Perform continuous 24-hour monitoring for 3 consecutive weeks
View evidence from paper
“24‐h continuous monitoring, commencing on the 8th day post‐surgery and continuing for the subsequent 3 weeks”
Signal processing
Apply EEG filter settings and determine seizure onset/termination based on EEG signals
View evidence from paper
“EEG filter settings adjusted to 1–70 Hz and the notch filter activated”
