A simple dog head holder for use with the Lab Tronics stereotaxic instrument.
The use of the dog as an experimental animal in neuro-and psyehopharmacologieal studies is increasing because many drugs affect the dog in a manner similar to that of man. At least two stereo-taxic atlases of the mongrel and/or beagle dog already have been published (Leontovich and Meting 1956; Lim et al. 1959) and several others are in the planning stage. Hume and Ganong (1956) have described ...
متن کاملA Frameless Stereotaxic MRI Technique for Macaque Neuroscience Studies
MRI has achieved widespread use for preplanning neuroscience procedures for non-human primate studies. However, orienting imaging studies in stereotaxic space has relied primarily on using a stereotaxic frame or co-registering fiducial markers with the neuroimaging. In this study, we present a simple approach in which the MRI dataset is aligned to the bony landmarks that define the Frankfurt st...
متن کاملA head holder for magnetic resonance imaging that allows the stereotaxic alignment of spontaneously occurring intracranial mouse tumors.
The use of stereotaxic neurosurgery in rodent models of human disease requires the alignment of central nervous system (CNS) structures that can be identified and surgically approached with great accuracy. Current technologies make possible development of mouse lines with enhanced predispositions for the development of various diseases including tumors. When such tumors arise in the brain their...
متن کاملQuadrature RF Coil for In Vivo Brain MRI of a Macaque Monkey in a Stereotaxic Head Frame.
We present a quadrature volume coil designed for brain imaging of a macaque monkey fixed in a sphinx position (facing down the bore) within a stereotactic frame at 3 T, where the position of the monkey and presence of the frame preclude use of existing coils. Requirements include the ability to position and remove the coil without disturbing the position of the monkey in the frame. A saddle coi...
متن کاملMacaque monkeys experience visual crowding.
In peripheral vision, objects that are easily discriminated on their own become less discriminable in the presence of surrounding clutter. This phenomenon is known as crowding.The neural mechanisms underlying crowding are not well understood. Better insight might come from single-neuron recording in nonhuman primates, provided they exhibit crowding; however, previous demonstrations of crowding ...
