The catheter of a telemetry device is implanted into the abdominal aorta in order to continuously collect beat-by-beat hemodynamic data from animals pre and post-high thoracic spinal cord transection. A novel JAVA software was employed to analyze hemodynamic parameters as well as frequency and intensity of spontaneous episodes of autonomic dysreflexia.

Here we present a protocol to conduct repeated impedance telemetry measurements during cochlear implantation (CI). They may allow conclusions on the electrode's and implant's function. Repeated impedance measurements enable objective feedback on whether the electrode is positioned inside the perilymph or outside the inner ear.

This article provides an overview of a multi-modal approach to mild traumatic brain injury diagnosis and recovery in youth. This approach combines neuropsychological testing with functional magnetic resonance imaging and the Head Impact Telemetry System to monitor the relationship between head impacts and brain activity during cognitive testing.
FAQs
Miniature implanted sensors detect physiological or behavioral variables inside the mouse and transmit those measurements wirelessly to a nearby receiver. The receiver collects signals while the animal moves freely, allowing the study to capture changing values over time rather than relying only on isolated observations. This arrangement connects internal measurements with the animal’s ongoing activity.
Handling and restraint can alter physiological measurements, so minimizing these interventions helps preserve conditions that are closer to the animal’s usual state. Mouse telemetry supports this advantage by collecting data during free movement instead of requiring repeated restraint for every observation. The resulting records can therefore help distinguish experimental effects from responses caused by the measurement process itself.
Telemetry software aligns physiological or behavioral measurements with time and experimental events. This synchronization allows investigators to examine when a change occurred relative to an intervention or other recorded event, rather than viewing each signal in isolation. Time-linked records are especially useful for interpreting changing cardiovascular, nervous-system, or metabolic responses across an experiment.
The implanted sensing system may measure heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, or locomotor activity. Selecting among these variables depends on the biological question, because each represents a different aspect of function. Cardiovascular studies may prioritize heart rate or blood pressure, whereas behavioral or metabolic investigations may gain more from activity or temperature records.
A typical workflow places a miniature sensor inside the mouse, positions a nearby receiver to collect wireless signals, and uses software to organize measurements against time and experimental events. The system then records the selected physiological or behavioral variables while the animal moves freely. This workflow produces a continuous record suitable for examining changes across an extended study.
Longitudinal recording is useful when investigators need to follow physiological or behavioral changes in the same mouse across time. Continuous measurements can support studies of cardiovascular, nervous-system, and metabolic function, as well as pharmacology and disease models. Repeated observation in this format helps relate evolving signals to experimental events without depending solely on separate, short measurement sessions.
In pharmacology, telemetry can link treatment-related events with changes in signals such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, or activity. In disease models, the same approach can follow functional changes over time while limiting handling-related disturbance. These applications make the method useful for examining both physiological responses and behavioral changes under relatively natural conditions.
