Fetal brain implants improve maze performance in hippocampal-lesioned rats.

Hippocampal tissue from day 16 fetal rats was implanted into the damaged hippocampal formation of adults. Significant recovery of the lesion-induced deficit in spatial maze performance was observed, particularly in those animals which showed integration of the implanted fetal tissue with the host hippocampal formation. A two-stage procedure in which 2 weeks or more elapsed between the initial lesion and the implantation resulted in more successful tissue integration and better behavioral recovery.

Ketamine/xylazine anesthesia in the pregnant rat.

Pregnant albino rats were anesthetized with a combination of ketamine and xylazine. A minimal effective dosage of 90 mg/kg for ketamine and 10 mg/kg for xylazine provided satisfactory anesthesia in 92% of the subjects, without adverse effects on gestation or the fetuses.

Multiple cannulation of the primate superficial lateral coccygeal vein.

The superficial lateral coccygeal veins of Macaca fascicularis were exposed surgically and cannulated with polyethylene tubing. The cannula was used for administering continuous infusions or obtaining multiple blood samples, and it was removed 12--18 hours after insertion.
