Abstract:
This report describes an original, removable, peripheral device: a microinjector that injects a single dose of fluid chemical into a particular site in the brain of freely moving rats. The microinjector was constructed especially for simultaneous use with a microdrive for microelectrode recording of single neuron activity but can be utilized alone. The microinjector is simple, lightweight, small, and easy to operate and maintain.
