Description
This protocol is to make carbon-fibre microelectrode (CFM) for electrochemical recordings of monoamines in ex vivo mouse brain slices. This protocol is optimised for the detection of dopamine from 300 µm coronal striatal sections, using a Miller voltammeter.

Inhibition of striatal dopamine release by the L-type calcium channel inhibitor isradipine co-varies with risk factors for Parkinson’s

This data show that LTCC function in DA axons, and isradipine effect, are locally governed and suggest they vary in a manner that in turn might impact on, or reflect, the cellular stress that leads to parkinsonian degeneration.
