Stereotaxic Surgery in the Rat:  A Photographic Series 
By:    Cooley, R.K., and Vanderwolf, C.H., (1990), A.J. Kirby Co., London Canada

General Description

The stereotaxic surgery manual provides a clear, step by step outline of the procedures involved in stereotaxic surgery with the most common laboratory animal, the rat. This 8.5 by 11 inch, 104 page, paperback manual has a plastic binding to lay flat. There are over 40 full page photographs illustrating each of the steps involved in the routine implantation of a chronic intracranial electrode. Each photograph is accompanied by a facing page giving a clear outline of the procedure illustrated. The manual developed in its present form as a result of the authors' experience in undergraduate laboratory teaching. It is uniquely suitable for use by individuals who have had little or no previous surgical experience.
