Abstract：
:Incubation chambers for surviving brain slice preparations are in most cases designed to be stationary. For investigations on human brain tissue resected for the treatment of brain tumor or epilepsy, portable incubation chambers are needed in addition to stationary ones to allow transport of the slices between laboratories and hospitals located far from each other. For such purposes, interface chambers have been in use. In view of the ongoing discussion of the merits of interface versus submerged baths, here we describe an alternative chamber as a lightweight, easy to assemble portable bath of the submersion type for transport of surviving brain slice preparations over considerable distances. The chamber has been used in a variety of investigations on human brain slices. These slice preparation showed bioelectric properties comparable to those reported in investigations by other laboratories using stationary incubation chambers in cases where portable ones were not needed.

杂志文章abstract：BACKGROUND:Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables non-invasive examination of both the structure and the function of the human brain. The prevalence of high spatial-resolution (sub-millimeter) fMRI has triggered new research on the intra-cortex, such as cortical columns and cortical layers. At present, ec...
