The area postrema (AP) is being widely studied to delineate its role in such varied functions as blood pressure regulation, conditioned taste aversion, water and energy balance, and radiation-induced emesis. This paper describes the preoperative preparation, surgical procedure, and postoperative care of cats kept long-term in which the AP was lesioned by electrocautery. A dorsal midline approach under gas anesthesia allowed access to selectively lesion the AP. Cats fully regained consciousness the same day and many became homeostatic within 24-48 h. Results of experiments using this model demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the technique for model preparation.
