A rapid method for the verification of drug injection into the cerebral ventricular system of the rat.
A precise method for the injection of drugs into the cerebroventricular system of small animals used for experimentation is described. This method, based on the intraventricular pressue record, gives absolute certainty for the injection of a drug into a previously selected site and thus avoids the subsequent histological studies.
