Rat CGRP (Sigma-Aldrich; 0.5 nmol) and CGRP8-37 (Sigma-Aldrich; 0.5 nmol) were diluted in saline. Isoflurane (1.5–2.0%) was used for brief anesthesia during i.c.v. injections. Drug administration was performed by the direct injection into the right lateral ventricle, through the intact scalp, aiming at 1 mm posterior to bregma and 1 mm right from the midline, as described previously51 (link). H89 (1 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich) was administered by intraperitoneal injection, 30 min before CGRP injection.
