An inexpensive method for fabrication of intracerebroventricular cannulae for rats.

An inexpensive and simple method to fabricate intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) cannulae for rats with readily available material is described here. The procedure is cost effective and quick. The cannulae thus designed are suitable for injecting minute quantities (microliters) of drugs/chemicals interacerebroventricularly for acute or chronic experiments in rats.
