Nervous system dissection
The nervous system, and its associated ganglia, typically are dissected out either dorsally or ventrally from an anesthetized animal.
This first video shows our methodology for dorsal dissection of the nervous system, as demonstrated by Resource scientist Dr. Lynne Fieber.
Full text of the process can be found in this pdf- Dorsal dissection text
This second video shows the technique for a ventral dissection of the nervous system, demostrated by Resource scientist Dr. Javier Rodrigeuz-Casariego. Animal prep is similar to that demonstrated in the dorsal dissection video.
