Stereotaxic displacement of portions of the chorioid plexus in the rhesus monkey

Abstract

During the course of a series of experiments in which lesions were produced by stereotaxis methods in the upper brain stem of the rhesus monkey certain incidental observations regarding manipulative displacement of portions of the chorioid plexus by the electrodes were made. Similar findings, observed in the course of previous experimental work, were not reported. Since it is possible that manipulative displacement of portions of the chorioid plexus might occur in the human as this technique is more widely applied, it seemed worthwhile to call attention to these observations.
