摘要

Apparatus and method for the operant self-administration of pharmacological compositions in laboratory animals. # The invention is a system operant self in laboratory animals, which manages any drug or drug, chemical or medical compound, either by inhalation of the solution or or by snorting the preparation in fine powder form. # the apparatus is designed so that, in the cage of experimentation, a module for inhalation or a module for snorting of them, or both simultaneously and a system is installed detection of the animal in the firing zone of the compound and a feeding system of the animal. # the whole is controlled by computer also provides statistics on the results obtained in the experiments. # the problem is thus solved Self-administration of small doses of substances and accurate medical interest to laboratory animals.
