Step 8

Place the probe connector into

the connector bracket.

Mount the IST-nDrive on a

stereotaxic frame.

Perform insertion at target

location. Cement the nDrive

base once initial insertion has

been performed.

NOTE: Apply cement to only

the nDrive base, leaving room

to access the screw to release

the nDrive unit after the

experiment.
