Abstract: | A simple surgical technique for implanting chronic electroencephalographic electrodes in the skull of the dog was devised to obtain electroencephalograms from nonsedated and nonanesthetized dogs frequently. Orthopedic screws were used as implant electrodes and for securing the recording assembly over the frontal sinus. The electrode assemblies have been tolerated well for as long as 10 months in 17 of 20 dogs and have given reliable and satisfactory electroencephalograms for computer analysis and have been virtually free of all physiologic and motion artifacts in all dogs, with minimal use of physical restraint. |
