+ ***ProbeType*** - a lookup table specifying the type of Neuropixels probe (e.g. "neuropixels 1.0", "neuropixels 2.0 single-shank")
38+
3439
+ ***ProbeType.Electrode*** - all electrode and their properties for a particular probe type
3540
+ An electrode here refers to one recordable electrode site on the Neuropixels probe (e.g. for Neuropixels 1.0, there are 960 sites per shank)
41+
3642
+ ***Probe*** - record of an actual physical probe, identifiable by some unique ID (e.g. probe's serial number)
43+
3744
+ ***ElectrodeConfig*** - particular electrode configuration to be used for ephys recording
45+
3846
+ ***ElectrodeConfig.Electrode*** - corresponding electrodes in ***ProbeType.Electrode*** that are used for recording in this electrode configuration (e.g. for Neuropixels 1.0 or 2.0, there can be at most 384 electrodes usable for recording per probe)

+ ***EphysRecording*** - each ***ProbeInsertion*** is accompanied by a corresponding ***EphysRecording***, specifying the ***ElectrodeConfig*** used for the recording from the ***Probe*** defined in such ***ProbeInsertion***
