Output Details

Description
This protocol describes the method of fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) for the application of measuring dopamine transients in mouse brain slices. Within the protocol are sections describing the manufacture of microelectrodes, preparation of acute brain slices, fiber calibration, and measuring stimulated dopamine release.
