===== Welcome to the CajalLab wiki=====
Hello...if [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_Ramon_y_Cajal|Cajal]] ran a lab today, he would use a wiki to keep track of lab metadata.  
  * Take a few minutes to learn the wiki syntax [[wiki:syntax|here]]. 
  * You can modify Pages by clicking **Edit this page** on the right side. 
  * Change the timezone in your wiki as shown [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:timezone|here]] ((you simply need to edit a file in the CONF folder)). This wiki is set to ET. 
  * This start page is set in **Admin**, **Access Control List** to READ for ALL. Everyone can see it without logging in.
  * The wiki Administrator username is **santiago** and the password is **NeuronDoctrine**((you would obviously never show this info on a real wiki ;-) )). Click **Log in** on the top right, add these details, and click **Remember Me** to act as the Administrator. 
  * Remember to Back-up your wiki on a daily basis using your preferred method.

===== Experimental Subjects=====

[[animals:animals|Alive Animals]] | [[animals:create#All Animals|All Animals]] | [[animals:create|Create New Animals]]

  Animals are created when they arrive from the vendor or when weaned after breeding. 
  Within Animal pages, there are sections for Sessions, Surgeries, Recovery, and Histology.
    Sessions are non-surgical procedures done to live animals. 
    Surgeries are surgical procedures.
    Recovery are surgical procedure recovery logs. 
    Histology is the treatment of fixed tissues obtained at death.  

[[strains:strains|Strains]] | [[breeders:breeders|Breeding Cages]] 

  Breeding cages allow you to keep track of breeding. 

[[subgroups:subgroups|Subgroups]]

  A subgroup is a grouping of animals that defines an experiment. 
  If an Animal has a Subgroup, it is in use, otherwise, it is available.

===== Lab Procedures =====

[[procedures:procedures|Procedures]] | [[solutions:solutions|Solutions]] | [[probes:probes|Probes]]
  Procedures are the Methods used to perform experiments.
    Procedure pages include step-by-step details on how to perform the method.
  Solutions are combinations of chemicals performed in the lab.
    Chemicals are purchased from vendors.  
  Probes are combinations of materials used to build devices (e.g., Electrodes).
    Materials are purchased from vendors.

An example protocol detailing the procedure to create this wiki lab system is shown [[procedures:proc11|here]].

===== Lab Components and Ordering =====
[[vendors:vendors|Vendors]] | [[chemicals:chemicals|Chemicals]] | [[materials:materials|Materials]]
  Vendors are stores or places from where items are purchased (or obtained). 
  Materials are purchased items that are not Chemicals, Equipment, or Animals.

[[setups:setups|Setups]] | [[equipment:equipment|Equipment]] | [[computers:computers|Computers]] | [[drives:drives|Drives]]
  Setups are combinations of Equipment and Computers.
  Drives are attached to Computers to store data. 
    The dates, when you add and remove a Drive from a computer, track file locations.

===== Compliance =====

[[iacuc:iacuc|IACUC protocols]] | [[dea:dea|DEA controlled drugs]]
  IACUC protocols are approved lab protocols.
  DEA controlled drugs are those drugs that need tracking.
