GRIN lens implant (1 mm) Protocol
This is the standard 1 mm GRIN lens implant protocol for Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025.
EMG recordings-Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025
This is the standard protocol for recordings of bulk EMG used for Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025.
Perfusion and Histology Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025
This is the standard protocol for perfusion and histology of brain slices for Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025.
Isometric forelimb task behavioral training
This task is a self-paced task in which mice are reinforced for using their forelimb to apply force to an immobile joystick exceeding a threshold of duration and force.
Holographic calibration
This is the standard protocol for 2-photon holographic calibration with In vivo Ultima Bruker microscope through GRIN lens used for Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025.
Imaging using 2-photon microscope through GRIN lens
This is the standard protocol for 2-photon imaging with Bruker microscope through GRIN lens used for Rodrigues-Vaz and Athalye et al, 2025.
Immunoprecipitation of NAP1-GFP
This protocol describes the procedure to perform immunoprecipitation of NAP1-GFP from HAP1 cells.
Plasmid Construction and Gibson cloning
This protocol describes plasmid construction using Gibson cloning.
Histology Albarran et al 2025
Histology protocol for Albarran et al 2025 that was adapted from Fushiki et al 2024 , to quantify Th+ cells.
Cryo-electron tomography of thinned synapses
Protocol for cryo-ET of thinned synapses in rat neuron cultures is detailed. Cryo-FIB milling creates thin samples for high-resolution imaging. Synapse targeting with and without cryo-FLM correlation is explained.
Single particle analysis of α-Synuclein fibrils
Aggregates of α-Synuclein are linked to Parkinson’s, multiple system atrophy, and Lewy body dementia. This protocol outlines near-atomic resolution structures of these amyloid fibrils using cryo-EM single particle analysis.
Preparing primary sandwich hippocampal neuron cultures for cryo-electron tomography
Sandwich hippocampal neuron cultures have low cell density and few glial cells, making them ideal for targeting neurons for cryo-electron tomography.
Sample Preparation Correlative XPCT – Histology
This protocol describes the placement of samples for XPCT and preparation of correlative histological analysis after the measurement.
Protocols Suite — SH-SY5Y / iCell® Neurons / High-Content Imaging
Maintenance of SH-SY5Y cells with SNCA overexpression in DMEM/F-12, differentiation with RA/BDNF, and culture of iCell DopaNeurons with SNCA mutation. Treatment and immunostaining for downstream assays using specific protocols and analysis tools.
GCase activity assay
Protocol measures GCase activity using 4-MUG substrate. GCase protein from a cellular model is diluted in acidic buffer to mimic lysosome pH. Adding lipid/detergent maintains enzyme activity. Taurocholate bile salt is included in the protocol.
