Immediate effects of intravenous injection of d-tubocurarine on intracranial pressure and thalamie electrical impedance were studied in neurosurgical patients. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were recorded simultaneously. After an initial dose of d-tubocurarine (0.6 ± 0.1 mg/kg), average thal
