Protocol for in vivo electrophysiological and optogenetic manipulation of basal ganglia neurons in awake head-fixed mice
Step by step procedure for in vivo electrophysiological and optogenetic manipulation of basal ganglia neurons in awake head-fixed mice.
Stereotactic Viral Injection into Subthalamic Nucleus in Mice
This protocol describes the surgical procedure of injecting AAV viruses into the subthalamic nucleus of a mouse. It contains information regarding the stereotactic setup, surgery preparation, anesthesia, craniotomy, injection, and recovery.
Handling and behavioral training protocol for in vivo electrophysiological and optogenetic manipulation of basal ganglia neurons in awake head-fixed mice
This protocol details the habituation of animals and behavioral training of animals for in vivo electrophysiology or optogenetic experiments.
Endosome isolation
Subcellular fractionation to isolate early and late endosomes (EEs and LEs) by performing a series of centrifugation steps.
Transcardiac Perfusion of Mouse for Brain Tissue
Transcardiac perfusion is a method used for clearing blood and preserving the mouse brain for immunostaining.
Create Mask for Axonal Quantification Analysis with FIJI
This protocol describes how to create a quantified mask from an image of fluorescence-tagged axonal projections using FIJI/ImageJ software.
Catalepsy test (Bar test)
The catalepsy test (bar test) was developed to test motor coordination and motor impairments.
Adhesive Removal Test to assess sensorimotor deficits in parkinsonian mice
This behavior is used to assess fine motor movements in a mouse Parkinsonian model. It checks for correct paw and mouth sensitivity (time-to-contact) and correct dexterity (time-to-remove).
Immunofluorescent labeling of cultured cells
This protocol describes the process of Paraformaldehyde fixation [PFA-fixation] and immunofluorescent-labeling of cultured cells.
Genotyping mice from ear clips
This protocol describes the genotyping procedure from ear clip samples. This includes a general PCR protocol for primers with annealing temperatures in the range 55-70 degrees C. For other primers, the thermal cycling should be adjusted.
Tail suspension test to assess depression/anxiety behavior in parkinsonian mice
The Tail Suspension Test is a mouse behavioral paradigm measuring behavioral despair or “depression-like” behavior and learned helplessness.
Protocol for ex vivo patch clamping
Protocol for ex vivo patch clamping
Rotarod Test to assess motor coordination in a mouse parkinsonian model
This protocol evaluates motor coordination in the rotarod assay in parkinsonian mice.
Stereotaxic injection of viral vectors
Stereotaxic injection of viral vectors
Isolation and Processing of Embryonic and Postnatal Brains
This protocol describes: -Harvesting embryos from females from embryonic day 10 [e10] to embryonic day 18 [e18] -Brain isolation of embryonic (e10-e18) and postnatal brains (p0-p30) -Processing and Freezing of embryonic and postnatal brains
