Operant drug self-administration and conditioned place preference (CPP) procedures are expansively used in research to model various components of drug reinforcement, consumption, and addiction in humans. In this report, we combined traditional CPP and self-administration methods as a novel approach to studying drug reinforcement and addiction in rats.

Golgi Apparatus

2023
Properly folded and assembled proteins are selectively packaged into vesicles that exit the ER. Motor proteins transport these vesicles to the Golgi apparatus for adding modifications that make these proteins functional at their destination. The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...

As they leave the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), properly folded and assembled proteins are selectively packaged into vesicles. These vesicles are transported by microtubule-based motor proteins and fuse together to form vesicular tubular clusters, subsequently arriving at the Golgi apparatus, a eukaryotic endomembrane organelle that often has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance.The Golgi apparatus is a major sorting and dispatch station for the products of the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter...

Continuous Drug Infusion System in Mouse Model: A Surgical Procedure to Implant Micro-osmotic Pump Infusion System in the Mouse Brain for Continuous Drug Delivery

In this video, we demonstrate the assembly of a micro-osmotic pump brain infusion system followed by its surgical implantation in the mouse skull. This system enables continuous delivery of potential drugs and facilitates the study of their effects on the brain and brain tissue.
FAQs
An infusion pump generates pressure and meters the flow according to the programmed settings. This pressure helps sustain delivery when resistance in the tubing or access pathway changes, while metering regulates how much fluid enters over time. The result is more controlled administration of medications, nutrients, fluids, or blood products than relying only on an uncontrolled flow.
Gravity-based systems regulate administration through the fluid’s height and a gravity regulator, whereas a pump actively generates pressure and meters flow. The overview identifies both as possible components of an infusion apparatus, with pumps offering programmed control of rate and volume. This distinction matters when administration requires precise, sustained delivery over an extended period.
These components create the pathway between the reservoir or fluid bag and the body. Sterile tubing carries the selected fluid, connectors join the delivery components, and the access catheter provides entry into the body, usually through a vein. Their coordinated arrangement allows the regulating device to control delivery through a continuous administration route.
The system is organized as a connected pathway from the reservoir or fluid bag, through sterile tubing and connectors, to the access catheter. A gravity regulator or infusion pump is incorporated when flow control is needed, and a pump can then be programmed to meter the intended rate and volume. This sequence supports continuous administration into the body.
An infusion apparatus becomes useful when oral delivery is unsuitable or when administration must continue over a prolonged period. Through this route, clinicians can provide hydration, anesthesia, chemotherapy, nutrition, blood products, or emergency treatment. Direct delivery also supports controlled administration when maintaining a specified rate and volume is important to the treatment plan.
In medicine, these systems support several distinct treatment needs, including hydration, anesthesia, chemotherapy, nutrition, transfusion, and emergency treatment. Their value is not limited to one fluid type: the apparatus can deliver medications, nutrients, fluids, or blood products. Controlled rate and volume improve dosing precision and make prolonged administration possible when required.
