The third type of device that we’ll discuss is tube restraints. These are Plexiglass cylinders with one closed end containing holes for air circulation, and a slit at the open end. To use a tube restraint, grasp the animal and place it on a smooth surface. Next, place the open end of...
Flexible plastic restraints can be modified by cutting openings to accommodate the exposure of limbs. The openings made can be customized for each animal, or for specific procedures. As the animal is secured in this manner, it is possible for a single technician to perform injections or blood ...
function and neuronal axonal connectivity, for example, by comparing rsfMRI data with the underlying anatomical connectivity from tracer injection experiments by the Allen Institute [45]. Thanks to this work, we have learned that high functional connectivity emerges predominantly between monosynaptically c...
