Summary

随着神经科学的查询变得更加复杂,调查的大脑结构和电路需要提高精度和更高的分辨率的水平。我们已经开发出一种利用与尖端直径为50微米的高硼硅microcannula了大脑内的慢性输液系统的准备和植入的方法。

Abstract

慢性滴注neuroactive代理使用的大脑区域内的实验协议,通常利用一个微型渗透泵系统。代理通常是通过一个直径为0.30毫米或更大的不锈钢套管交付。利用这一口径套管的系统,可以并处创伤导致建筑损坏的利益方面,从而影响结构的完整性和正常运作。随着神经科学的查询变得更加复杂,调查的大脑结构和电路需要提高精度和更高的分辨率的水平。我们已经开发出一种利用与尖端直径为50微米的高硼硅microcannula了大脑内的慢性输液系统的准备和植入的方法。这种技术减少了对当地环境的破坏和减少输液部位的反应性胶质化。 microinfusion系统的配置也能够以符合动物的头骨表面,解除对大脑神经底座的需要,从而促进头皮切口封闭和减少感染的风险。我们表现​​出持续提供可靠的一个有代表性的分子量使用体外模型,并在大鼠体内研究的染料。

Protocol

简介 neuroactive代理商直接输注允许特定的大脑区域进行研究,同时绕过血脑屏障。这种方法在神经科学中的应用是多种多样的,包括改变离散分区域的大脑活动水平(Berretta等,2004;。Gliddon等,2005;。Kim等,2000),调查的精神科药物的行动(克林顿等人,2006年迪尼迪托等,2004),提供脑部炎症的控制模型(Hauss – Wegrzyniak等,1998; Marchalant等,2007;。罗西等人,2004年),研究的机…

Discussion

各种研究表明,减少交付脑内注射,组织创伤和侮辱血脑屏障套管的大小减少(佩里等人,1993年),炎症减少,免疫反应减弱(Finsen等人减少,1991),反应性胶质化(Nikkhah等,1994)。我们在座的一种neuroactive代理大脑内的慢性交付通过一个直径6倍,比常规使用的交付插管,减少microcannula方法。我们已经证明,该系统可靠地提供了一个有代表性的解决方案随着时间的推移和局部创伤和反应性胶质化水平显着降低…
