The 4th NBRP Rat Technical Workshop in Tokyo
Neuroscience Research Techniques Workshop Using Rats
- Basics of Intracerebral Injection Methods and Evaluation Methods -
In this workshop, in addition to basic handling methods for rats, we will hold a lecture on research methods using viral vectors and conduct hands-on training in "intracerebral administration," an effective delivery method in neuroscience research.
This will be extremely beneficial for those who are about to start neuroscience research using rats or those who want to learn new delivery techniques.
We sincerely look forward to your participation.
