Stereotaxic frame for monkey research

申请NSERC设备资金是为了获得一个立体定位框架和微操作器，用于在绿猴身上进行神经解剖束追踪实验，这一点在NSERC资助的一项研究计划中描述：多感觉整合的皮质路径。这是实现NSERC资助的研究目标所必需的基本设备。用高标准立体定位框架获得的立体定位坐标是精确应用神经解剖学示踪剂和编制绿猴脑立体定位图谱所必需的。1404型立体定位仪可用于从灵长类动物到老鼠的各种动物。1404型包括一个Kopf1430型立体框架，四个1460型三维电极操纵器，每个都有一个1770型标准电极夹持器；还包括一个1210型安装底板，1225型通用旋转支架，1245型带适配器板的猫/猴子适配器和一套851型标准实心耳杆。除了这些基本设备外，我们还要求865型35毫米偏置耳杆和竖板，以便进行颞叶外科手术，这将有助于在猴子的听觉皮质中放置示踪剂注射。我们还需要一个1211型底板。这是一个便携式安装板，重量只有7磅，带有一个用于安装框架的插座。

This application for NSERC equipment funding is to acquire a stereotaxic frame and micromanipulators for neuroanatomical tract tracing experiments in the Green monkey described in a funded NSERC research program entitled: Cortical pathways for multisensory integration. This is a basic piece of equipment that will be necessary for the fulfillment of the research objectives funded by NSERC. Stereotaxic coordinates obtained with a high standard stereotaxic frame is needed for the precise application of neuroanatomical tracers and for the preparation of a stereotaxic atlas of the Green monkey brain. The Model 1404 Stereotaxic Instrument can be used for a wide variety of animals from primates to mice. The 1404 model consists of a Kopf Model 1430 stereotaxic frame, four model 1460 three-dimensional electrode manipulators, and each with a model 1770 Standard electrode holder; also included are a model 1210 mount base plate, model 1225 Universal swivel stand, Model 1245 Cat/Monkey adaptor with adaptor plate and one set of Model 851 Standard solid ear bars. In addition to this basic equipment we ask for a Model 865 35 mm offset ear bars and riser block allowing for temporal surgical approaches which will be useful for placement of tracer injections in the auditory cortex in monkeys. We request also a Model 1211 Base plate. This is a portable mounting plate weighing only 7 lbs with a socket for mounting the frame.
