A Sliding Ventilating Chamber and Snout Clamp to Fix Small Animals in a Kopf Stereotaxic Instrument. Nelson L. Freedman, Ph.D., June 1989., Vol. 22 "Anesthesia and attendant respiratory problems introduce several complication in small animal neruosurgery." This article describes a simple aluminum fitting for the upper incisor bar which serves as a snout clamp. |
| A Brain Blocker/Slicer for the Stereotaxic Plane of the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates. Charles Watson, M.D., Ph.D. October, 1989., Vol. 23 "Prior to the 1950's accurate stereotaxic procedures were encumbered by th unavailability of precise stereotaxic instruments and stereotaxic maps." This article give a brief history of stereotaxic procedures and th advent of the brain blocker for precise stereotaxic brain slicing. |

The Bone Finder: A Simple Device For Improving the Accuracy of Deep Stereotaxic Placements. W. Bruce Warr, Ph.D. and Jo Ellen Beck, HT (ASCP), January, 1990., Vol. 24 "Despite tremendous improvements in the precision and accuracy of stereotaxic instruments and maps there is still considerable uncertainty attending efforts to place an electrode tip precisely into any deep cerebral structure." This article describes the techniques for using and the construction of a bone finding instrument. |

Plastination of Neuroanatomical and Anatomical Specimens. Timothy R. Barnes, A.A., LFD&E, July, 1990., Vol. 26 "With the advent of plastination some 11 or 12 years ago, it became possible to build as 'library' of teaching and research tissue specimens without shelf upon shelf of alcohol and formalin filled jars." This article outlines the process of plastination and variants which can produce remarkably lifelike specimens which are almost indestructible. |
| The Horsley-Clarke Stereotaxic Instrument: The Beginning. Louis H. Marshall, Ph.D. and Horace W. Magoun, Ph.D., October, 1990., Vol. 27 "The encumbrance of a lack of precision in the placement of a lesion stimulus in brain tissue delayed progress in neuroscience..."
