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.

Rapid modulation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release by satellite astrocytes

The authors found very rapid modulation of dopamine release at sub-second timescales, mediated by changes to acetylcholine signalling, and a surprising cell-to-cell “satellite” configuration of astrocytes next to striatal cholinergic…
