Stereotaxic virus injection and fiber optic probe implantation
This protocol serves to prepare mice for in vivo optogenetic stimulation.
Opto-Avoidance-EPM Test
The Opto-Avoidance-Elevated Plus Maze test assesses the effect induced by photostimulation compared to a mouse's natural aversion to open areas.
Opto-RT-CPP Test
Protocol for Opto-RT-CPP (Optogenetic Real-Time Conditioned Place Preference) test. This test measures location preference or avoidance in response to optogenetic stimulation.
Opto-Negative Reinforcement Paradigm (Opto-NR)
Protocol for Opto-Negative Reinforcement paradigm (Opto-NR). This test uses an operant conditioning box with two nose-poke devices to test aversive learning in mice.
Sugar Positive Reinforcement Paradigm (Sugar-PR)
Protocol for Sugar Positive Reinforcement Paradigm (Sugar-PR) with optogenetic stimulation.
Post-injection Histological Analysis
Protocol for post-injection histological analysis following optogenetic behavioral assays.
