A lightweight hybrid microdrive for use with awake unrestrained animals

A hybrid microdrive is described, comprising remote stepper motors connected by a hydraulic link to a slave electrode positioner which is light enough for use with freely walking cats. The system provides 18 mm of electrode movement in 2 or 10 μm steps.
