The microlocalisation technique with the stable isotope Li uses a beam of neutrons in an atomic reactor. The Li nucleus absorbs a neutron and immediately undergoes fission to produce an a-particle and a H atom, which create tracks in a suitable detector placed in contact with Li-containing tissue. The tissue distribution in the rat, brain lithium distribution in the mouse " and the rat, ° distribution in the mouse embryo, kinetics in the mouse brain, and distribution in mutant strains of mice with dysmyelination have been studied.
