In this study we investigated the use of an intra-cerebro-ventricular cannulation with the use of an osmotic pump to administer a continuous dose of MnCl2 and its effect on the tissue and behaviour. Here we compare a 7-day administration of Mn to a 28-day administration. In our study, we investigated histology, T1 mapping and behaviour.
