Chronic Instrumentation in Conscious Small Animals
Education Track

The goal of this workshop is to provide new and established investigators with technical and practical information to chronically instrument small animals. The increased awareness for understanding physiological and pharmacological responses in awake, behaving animals has grown with the development of new technologies. In this workshop, presentations will focus on technical aspects of surgical preparation, potential problems, and possible applications of various techniques. After a general overview, presentations will be given on the use of telemetry (Andrew King), fluid sampling (Gregory Fink), brain cannulation and sampling (J.R. Haywood and Susan Mulroney), and other variables such as nerve recording, cardiac output, electromyogram, and electroencephalograms (Osborn). CDs will be available with useful information for various techniques. A question/answer period will complete the program.
