Essential surgeries for the electrophysiological recording from a behaving non-human primate brain 1 (Head fixation post and recording chamber implantation)

Output Details

The implantation of a head fixation post and recording chamber is the first step to performing electrophysiological recording of head-restrained awake non-human primates. Implants can last for many years if there are no infections. However, they may fail in a few months if an infection occurs, especially between the implant and the skull. Therefore, performing surgical procedures under strictly sterile conditions is the key to the successful progress of the project.
