R K Kusumi, and J F Plouffe

A safe and simple method for obtaining cerebrospinal fluid from the anesthetized rabbit was accomplished by cannulating the fourth ventricle. Cerebrospinal fluid (1.5--2.0 ml) was obtained for laboratory analysis. The procedure could be repeated at 2--3 day intervals without detrimental effects.
