Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design and construction of a nonmetallic, nonmagnetic stereotaxic device for use in holding the head of anesthetized macaque monkeys during magnetic resonance and computerized axial tomography imaging procedures. Head movement can be eliminated, permitting the investigator to obtain maximal resolution from the imaging system.
