Figure 3. Undercut in cats.

Figure 3

a. Picture of the undercut tool used to perform undercut in cats. The craniotomy was performed above the supasylvian gyrus and stainless steel screws were used as anchor for the dental acrylic to be applied. Coronal (b) and sagittal (c) sections of an undercut with Nissl staining. Arrows indicate the undercut location. Note that the knife was entered using the natural curvature of the brain doing minimal damage to the cortex, but cutting severely the underlying white matter.
