Automatic temperature controller for maintaining body temperature in experimental animals.

Abstract:

:A system for autoregulation of body temperature of large and small animals is described. The device uses the IC AD590 as a temperature transducer. It operates on the basis of continuous regulation of the heating current, and does not emit transients which interfere with electrical recordings. A panel meter shows either the rectal temperature of the animal or the current flow to the blanket.

  • New methods of dye application for staining motor neurons in an insect.

    abstract::Motor neurons innervating tiny muscles in the antennal system of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, were stained by two new approaches to backfilling motor axons and somata. Both methods are easier, and produce less leakage of dye, than conventional methods that rely on application of dye to the distal cut end of a...
