Time taken by drug to diffuse from surface to neurons


During the course of a neurosurgical procedure a drug is applied to the surface of the brain in order to inhibit the activity of a group of neurons that lie 3mm below the surface. Approximately how long will it take the drug to diffuse from the surface to those neurons? Assume the diffusion coefficient of the drug in brain tissue is 3 x 10-4 cm2/sec.
