Procedural overview comparing craniotomy during initial surgery versus later sessions in non-human primates, indicating ease of maintenance.
The procedure below details the steps for performing a craniotomy within a recording chamber affixed to a cranial implant. The procedure may be conducted either during the initial implantation surgery or in a subsequent session after the animal has fully recovered from implantation and has acclimated to head fixation using the implanted head posts. Performing the craniotomy after recovery simplifies long-term chamber maintenance.
