University of Ottawa, Faculty of Medicine, Ontario, Canada.

A method for rigid head restraint during stereotaxic surgical procedures is described. The method is based on modifications of a conventional rabbit stereotaxic head holder and provides reliable head fixation for accurate implantation of depth and surface electrodes, cannulae, microelectrode wells, etc.
