Abstract: Reliable head fixation is essential for accuracy in cranial neurosurgical procedures, particularly when using neuronavigation systems. While traditional skull clamps are designed to ensure rigid immobilization, undiscovered movement of patient´s head under external forces can… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundHead fixation can induce hemodynamic instability. Remifentanil is commonly used with propofol for total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) during neurosurgery. This study investigated the 90% effective concentration (EC90) of remifentanil for blunting of cardiovascular responses to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0276531
Abstract: The use of head fixation has become routine in systems neuroscience. However, whether the behavior changes with head fixation, whether animals can learn aspects of a task while freely moving and transfer this knowledge to… read more here.
