Abstract
This paper describes preparation of the isolated brain of hibernating ground squirrel maintained by intraarterial perfusion. This technique allows a long-term survival (about 3 days) of the isolated brain of ad ult animals. The preparation viability was assessed by extracellular i nvestigation of stability of structure-specific electrical activity. T he areas investigated include neocortex, hippocampus, thalamus, hypoth alamus, and brain stem.
