Plethysmography system. Custom built 200 ml mouse plethysmograph for the measurement of ventilatory functions during control and challenge (e.g., hypoxia or hypercapnia) conditions. Chamber is placed above a radiotelemetric receiver antenna to enable simultaneous measurements of blood pressure, electrical potential (e.g., electrocardiogram), core temperature, or other endpoints via previously implanted probes. Chamber is also interfaced with a wireless optogenetic system antenna assembly, to permit simultaneous optogenetic activation/inhibition of cellular functions via previously implanted wireless LED-based stimulators.
