Approach for reporting master protocol study designs on ClinicalTrials.gov: qualitative analysis.

Objective: To describe an approach for reporting master protocol research programs (MPRPs) that is consistent with existing good reporting practices and that uses structured information to convey the overall master protocol and design of each substudy.

Design: Qualitative analysis.

Data Sources: ClinicalTrials.

Chronically recording with a multi-electrode array device in the auditory cortex of an awake ferret.

It is known that anesthesia depresses neural activity and inhibits cortico-cortical interactions and cortical output. Hence, it is important to record from awake animals in order to better understand the full dynamic range of neural responses. We have developed a preparation for chronic, multi-electrode physiological recording in the cortex of the awake ferret.
