Development of a Stereotaxic Device for Low Impact Implantation of Neural Constructs or Pieces of Neural Tissues into the Mammalian Brain

Figure 5

A schematic diagram showing the trajectory of the implantation device containing a scaffold construct along the nigrostriatal pathway. Note, for illustration purposes, the implantation device is shown here much larger than it is in relation to the rodent brain. (a) illustrates how the plunger of the Hamilton syringe is held in place as the syringe and needle (b) are moved upwards, “laying out” the construct (c) in vivo as the glass capillary is removed.
