Abstract

Techniques are described for use in awake, unrestrained cats which enable recordings to be made from the digastric muscle, electrical stimuli to be applied to the teeth, and intravenous injections to be made via an indwelling cannula. A headpiece was fixed to the skull of the animal and leads were passed subcutaneously from it to electrodes in the muscle and the teeth. A silicone rubber cannula was inserted into the external jugular vein and connected to an injection port in the headpiece. The headpiece incorporated a miniature 9-way connector which was connected to the electrode leads.
