Juxtacellular Recordings in Ventral tegmental area and Locus coeruleus
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.
