Fig. 1. Region of interest (ROI)-based cranial and spinal window classification; (a) olfactory bulb window, (b) cerebral cortex window, (c) cerebellar window, and (d) spinal cord chamber window (SCCW). The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The cranial and spinal window is advantageous for observing the outer surface of the brain and the spinal cord. The cerebral cortex is the largest and the most accessible part of the cerebrum, where the motor and the sensory areas are located. The cranial and spinal window enables observing brain connectivity during a behavioral test in brain disease models combining neuroscience methods. The cranial and spinal window and behavioral apparatus are verified.
