MATERIAL and METHODS: Adult male Wistar-Albino rats (n=50) were used for this purpose. RESULTS: The average bodyweight of the rats was 316.4 +/- 11.71 g, and the average weight of the resected hippocampal tissues was 1.01 +/- 0.03 g; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the body weights and the hippocampal tissue weights (p>0.05). The hippocampal tissues to be used in the study were excised practically by preserving the original anatomical configuration without injury to the tissue. CONCLUSION: This paper elucidates a simple, step-by-step methodology for performance in the laboratory in order to improve the standardization of hippocampal tissue dissection.en10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.31730-20.1info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDissectionBrainCerebellumCortexHippocampusWistar-AlbinoRatNeuroscienceDissectionNeuronsMemoryArticle311112118Q4WOS:0006102434000182-s2.0-8509716697233216343Q3
