Gradient-index (GRIN) lens implantation surgery in non-human primates
Output Details
Description
These procedures are done in the context of calcium imaging experiments in non-human primates. We inject a solution containing AAV-GCaMP6 into the supplementary motor area (SMA) of the animal to be tested and then insert the GRIN lens into the injected area during the same session. The GRIN lens assembly is protected by a custom-made ‘chamber’ with a lid that can be closed for protection between uses. Details regarding the preparation of the virus solution are not included in this description, as they are immaterial to the GRIN lens implantation itself.
