Abstract

Action potential is one of the main ways to transmit information in the nervous system. In fact, a single electrode tends to record the activities of more than one neuron, therefore, the recorded signals need to be analyzed to get the single neuron discharge sequences. This paper separates and analyzes the nerve signals of rat dorsal root ganglion by the program written in Matlab and commercial data analysis system LabChart respectively. The results showed that both of them can achieve to separate the different amplitudes signal and conduct statistical analysis, but Matlab program is simple and can directly isolate different neural signals which is easy to understand and accept, it can also process the data according to their specific characteristics and get more consistent results to the reality, while LabChart can only get the results close to the reality. In addition, LabChart can be modified to get more practical analysis through the analysis of Matlab. In a conclusion, Matlab program can satisfy the need to deal with the data independently, and it can also work as helper to improve the results of a commercial software processing.
