マーモセット用チェアの製作

Set up a chair of common marmoset for the neurophysiological study
Summary It has been expected that common marmosets are used as experimental model animals in the neuroscientific research. However, the neurophyiological study with moarmosets has not quite advanced enough yet. We has been developed a neurophysiological device set with marmosets. For the new set-up, the old device set that was used with Macaque monkeys has been modified. In particular, the chair for marmosets was made small because of their body size. Then, the seating position was elevated for adjusting to recording devices. The chair was constructed from two plates fixing neck and body, and a plate for sitting. The individual difference of animal’s body size could be deal with by adjusting these plates. For advancement, the sitting plates will be changed to a pipe-structure with the aim of keeping animal’s bodies apart from their excrement
