A method for chronic intravenous drug administration in squirrel monkeys

Abstract
A system for the infusion of drug solutions into the blood stream of relatively unrestrained and unanesthetized squirrel monkeys, via a chronic intravenous catheter, is described. Results pertaining to the maintenance of schedule-controlled behavior by response-contingent infusions of d-amphetamine sulfate are included to illustrate a specific application of the technique.
