In order to carry out certain experiments, research animals must sometimes be anesthetized and undergo surgical procedures. The implantation of a headpost or recording chamber is an example of such a procedure. The following pages contain detailed medical information about the surgical and anesthesiological methods used at our institute.  

Please note: Because they are very technical, these descriptions may be difficult for laypersons to understand. They are meant primarily for those with medical training.
