Suggestions for Microwire Insertion
Suggestions
for
Microwire
Insertion
I.
General
Procedures:
The following are general suggestions for insertion of TDT microwire arrays and may
not comply with your animal care and use guidelines. Investigators should consult
officials at their respective institutions to determine the regulations governing animal
care and use in their laboratory.
We use aseptic techniques and avertin anesthesia for mouse, ketamine/xylazine
anesthesia for rat.
We use the general procedures for rodent survival surgery described in: “Principles
of Aseptic Rodent Survival Surgery: General Training in Rodent Survival Surgery -
Part I” In: Laboratory Animal Medicine and Management, Reuter J.D. and Suckow
M.A. (Eds.) International Veterinary Information Service, Ithaca NY (
www.ivis.org
),
2004; B2514.0604.

NIH offers instructional videos entitled: “Training in Basic Biometholodology for
Laboratory Mice” and “Training in Survival Rodent Surgery” at their website:

grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/TrainingVideos.htm
.
II.
Stereotaxic
Surgery:
We use procedures similar to those described in: “Stereotaxic Surgery In The Rat:
A Photographic Series” by Richard K. Cooley and C.H. Vanderwolf. This reference is
available from Amazon.com for $27.97 and is highly recommended.
III.
Microwire
Procedures:

A recent paper by Kralik et al. (2001) contains a very helpful description of
microwire array insertion methods (Methods. 2001 Oct; 25(2): 121-50).
In rat and mouse, we recommend following the general and neurosurgical procedures
as described in the references above.
