Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information. Key Attributes include the following:

Different electrode coatings affect neural recording performance through changes to electrochemical, chemical and mechanical properties. Comparison of electrodes in vitro is relatively simple, however comparison of in vivo response is typically complicated by variations in electrode/neuron distance and between animals. This article provides a robust method to compare neural recording electrodes.

Whole-cell recordings from Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptors enable the measurement of spontaneous dark bumps, quantum bumps, macroscopic responses to light, and current-voltage relationships under various conditions. In combination with D. melanogaster genetic manipulation tools, this method enables the study of the ubiquitous inositol-lipid signaling pathway and its target, the TRP channel.
FAQs
The recording can capture changes in electrical potential and shifts in action potential frequency after stimulation. These measurements provide complementary views of receptor activity: potential changes indicate an altered electrical state, whereas action potential frequency indicates how strongly neural signaling changes over time. Together, they help characterize the response generated by a sensory receptor.
Different stimuli can produce distinct response patterns at the receptor, allowing investigators to determine whether sensory neurons respond selectively or broadly. Comparing these patterns helps identify stimulus-specific activity and clarifies how peripheral sensory systems distinguish external inputs. Such comparisons are especially relevant when relating receptor signals to the mechanisms underlying sensation.
Applying comparable stimuli to different receptors allows researchers to compare the magnitude or frequency of their recorded responses. Those differences can indicate variation in receptor sensitivity and responsiveness. In taste research and other peripheral sensory studies, this approach helps determine whether particular receptor structures are more responsive to certain external stimuli than others.
A typical experiment positions the recording electrode at the exposed tip of a sensillum or other receptor structure, applies a selected stimulus, and records the resulting electrical response. Investigators can then examine changes in electrical potential or action potential frequency. Repeating this procedure across stimuli or receptors supports systematic comparisons of sensory activity.
The measurements can show whether a receptor responds to a stimulus, how its electrical activity changes, and whether the response pattern differs among stimuli. They also support comparisons between receptor structures, including differences in apparent sensitivity. These outcomes help connect peripheral neural activity with the cellular processes involved in detecting external signals.
Taste receptors provide a peripheral system in which stimulus-evoked neural activity can be examined directly at the receptor structure. Recording response patterns helps investigators relate specific external inputs to sensory neuron activity and to cellular mechanisms underlying sensation. This information can then support analysis of how receptor signaling contributes to broader sensory-guided behavior.
