Output Details

Description
This protocol describes juxtacellular recordings in the VTA and LC of adult mice, involving anesthesia, precise brain targeting, and neuron labeling. Using specialized electrodes and a dual-channel amplifier, neuronal activity is recorded and modulated with current injections. Following recordings, brains are perfused, fixed, and sectioned for detailed morphological analysis.
