The accurate implantation of microelectrodes is a significant difficulty facing many neurophysiologists This paper reports on a new method used to promote the precise positioning of electrode implantation through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowing both the relevant brain structure and the MRI-visible external markers anchored on the skull (In this case rigid glass tubes with a 0 5 mm Internal diameter) to be displayed By referencing these markers the coordinates of the brain target were calculated Using this novel approach recording electrodes were successfully Implanted Into the superior colliculus (SC) of rhesus monkeys with an error
