An efficient cryoprobe to inactivate cortical surfaces.
This paper describes a cryoprobe constructed of glass capillary tubes commonly employed for cellular recordings. It is inexpensive, it is easily and rapidly constructed and most importantly it can easily be adjusted to cool larger areas and tightly fit brain curvatures and gyri.
