ABSTRACT:
A rotational adaptor is provided for use with a stereotaxic instrument used in brain research to hold and stabilize the head of a small animal, such as a rat, having a cradle with two ear bars and a nose clamp wherein the cradle may be rotated while maintaining support of the animal's head by the ear bars and the nose clamp. The device allows electrodes and micropipettes to be implanted through the side of the skull as well as through the top of the skull, increasing the number of available implant pathways and consequently reducing trauma experienced by the animal.
