【Case of Instruction】
Secure the head and limbs of rats in prostate position then incise the scalp along the midline after disinfection and extend the cut by 45 degree in front left, forming a triangular flap. Expose the left skull after opening the flap and stripping the periosteum off. In order to establish a round circle with 6mm diameter in the left skull, you need to take the left eye socket as supporting point and turn a small cranium bone over by the needle holder to show the duramater. Then it turns to the last step. Place the hitting bar outside the round circle in the left skull and let it be perpendicular to the metal tube, use the hitting bar of 40 gram to hit the striker from 20 cm high, the impulsive force extends to 4×20cm.g, which cause cerebral confusion and laceration in the left hemisphere
