Description
This protocol is to determine the effects of administrating mecamylamine in the mouse brain striatum using a Conditioned Preference Place (CPP) paradigm. This model measures the increased preference for an environment associated with the administration of a drug. The goal is to create a conditioned stimulus able to evoke a specific behaviour based on the nature of the drug tested.
