The brain of the guinea pig in stereotaxic coordinates.

Abstract

The brain of the guinea pig in stereotaxic coordinates is proposed as a tool for neurophysiologists who are interested in the guinea pig as an experimental animal. The frontal sections of guinea pig brain in stereotaxic coordinates extend from anterior (A) 17.0 to posterior (P) 5.0. The frontal sections of the brain are reproduced as drawings in which brain contours as well as nuclear and fibre structures are outlined. The procedure used for setting the stereotaxic coordinates and zero planes is reported and the limitation of the use of the tables is discussed.
