Horsley-Clarke apparatus or stereotaxic frame is a solid metallic frame made of two horizontal graduated bars fixed perpendicularly to a metal plate, holding a device for the fixation of the head of the animal through its upper jaw and orbits. The horizontal bars hold at mid-distance a device to fix two bars introduced into the ears (external auditory meatus).
