Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models PDF provides a full explanation and technical details to perform surgical techniques properly on small and large animal models. The first six chapters of Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models focus primarily on the brain, while the next six chapters concern the spinal cord in rodents. The last four chapters provide a description of operative procedures in large animals. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, chapters include the kind of detail and key implementation advice that ensures successful results in the laboratory.
Authoritative and practical, Experimental Neurosurgery in Animal Models aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
Focuses on surgical techniques rather than the diseases modeled by them
Presents in-depth analysis and instruction for the instrumentation
Examines targeted and specific issues for each methodology
