Abstract
To explain how to resect hippocampal tissue in rats used as live mammalian subjects for the resection of fresh cerebral tissue in laboratories. Adult male Wistar-Albino rats (n=50) were used for this purpose. The average bodyweight of the rats was 316.4 ± 11.71 g, and the average weight of the resected hippocampal tissues was 1.01 ± 0.03 g; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the body weights and the hippocampal tissue weights (p > 0.05). The hippocampal tissues to be used in the study were excised practically by preserving the original anatomical configuration without injury to the tissue. This paper elucidates a simple, step-by-step methodology for performance in the laboratory in order to improve the standardization of hippocampal tissue dissection.
