Xenbase's mission is to provide the international research community with a comprehensive, integrated and easy to use web based resource that gives access the diverse and rich genomic, expression and functional data available from Xenopus research. Xenbase also provides a critical data sharing infrastructure for many other NIH-funded projects, and is a focal point for the Xenopus community. In addition to our primary goal of supporting Xenopus researchers, Xenbase enhances the availability and visibility of Xenopus data to the broader biomedical research community.

Welcome to this NC3Rs wiki on refinement of the use of chronic implants in neuroscience research using NHPs.

Here you can read, post and edit practical information on the design, implantation and maintenance of headposts, recording chambers and other implants. The wiki also includes information on non-invasive approaches to head restraint.

In a transatlantic collaboration, scientists from the NC3Rs and the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia have conducted the first ever survey of the approaches used for training monkeys for chair restraint.
