Summary:A catheter design and implantation technique are described which permit the repeated infusion of drugs into the external jugular vein of the rat. The catheter is designed specifically for use when electrode implantation or other surgery requires the construction of a cranial pedestal from dental acrylic. The speed and simplicity of the catheter's construction and implantation are advantageous, and it performs reliably for several months after implantation.
