Digital Stereotaxic Instrument

Digital Stereotaxic Instrument

The digital stereotaxic instrument utilizes a three-dimensional coordinate system based on external cranial landmarks or reference points to locate specific subcortical neural structures. This enables targeted manipulation—including stimulation, lesioning, drug injection, and electrical potential recording—without direct visual exposure of deep brain regions.

As an essential research tool in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neurosurgery, it supports a wide range of applications. These include establishing animal models of Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors, as well as studies on learning and memory, neural stem cell transplantation, cerebral ischemia, and related neurological processes.
