Intracerebroventricular injection
Intracerebroventricular injection (in-tra-cere-bro-ven-tric-u-lar in-jec-tion) is a method used in neuroscience to inject substances directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) located in the brain's ventricles.
Etymology
The term "Intracerebroventricular" is derived from the Latin words intra meaning "within", cerebro referring to the "brain", and ventricular pertaining to the "ventricles" or chambers within the brain that produce CSF.
Procedure
Intracerebroventricular injection involves the use of a syringe and needle to penetrate the skull and reach the brain's ventricles. The substance to be injected is then released directly into the CSF, allowing it to spread throughout the brain and spinal cord. This method is often used in research to test the effects of drugs, gene therapy, or other treatments on the brain.
