Intracranial injections of viral vectors in mouse striatum

Output Details

Description
The following protocol outlines the steps necessary for intracranial injections of viral vectors in dorsal or ventral striatum in mice. These steps are generalisable for different viruses and injection sites, however care must be taken to optimise injection coordinates and virus titre.

Striatal ensembles specify and control granular forelimb actions

The striatum plays a crucial role in controlling movements and learning. These results reveal specific ensembles of both D1- and D2-MSNs causally control specific ongoing actions, as granular as different muscle co-contractions of the same forelimb.
