This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.To design a successful convection-enhanced infusion protocol for human intra-putamenal infusions of solutions carrying drugs. Success means, in this context, covering the putamen and/or caudate nucleus, with minimal coverage of surrounding structures. The goal of this particular study is to develop such a protocol in rhesus monkeys, and to offer a prediction for the results of a similar protocol in humans. We will estimate the likelihood of achieving a given coverage using this protocol. We will also specifically compare current proposed methods of brain delivery.This project has just begun.
