Question

Researchers use a _____ to guide an electrode to a specific region in the brain.

Answer 1

ANSWER: STEREOTAXIC ATLAS

EXPLANATION:

STEREOTAXIC ATLAS refers to a reference template that has diverse records of brain structure of a specific animal with their associated coordinates.

Researcher uses this template to guide or direct stereotactic surgery (i.e a surgical procedure which makes use of a three-dimensional coordinate system to locate small targets or regions in the body).

Thus, this above procedure is used to initiate actions such as ablation, lesion, biopsy, radiosurgery, etc in the body of animals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Stereo-taxis atlas

Explanation:

researchers use a Stereo-taxis atlas to guide an electrode to a specific region in the brain. this is because a Stereo-taxis atlas is a record of the activities/brain structure of an animal accompanied with co-ordinates.

This structure of the brain and the given coordinates guides a researcher when he or she is performing a Stereo-tactic surgery on the animal.

It very important for researchers to use the Stereo -taxis atlas to guide them during the process because without the Stereo - taxis atlas the researcher would perform a terrible job
