Technika infuzji mikrochirurgicznej myszy do celowanego dostarczania substancji do OUN przez tętnicę szyjną wewnętrzną

Overview

This protocol outlines a mouse microsurgery infusion technique that delivers substances directly into the brain via the internal carotid artery. It minimizes trauma and preserves neuronal integrity while achieving high substance concentrations in the brain.

Key Study Components
