Mouse Brain Tissue Collection and Analysis

Output Details

This protocol describes the dissection and collection of coronal sections of the striatum and midbrain from a mouse brain. The tissue can be used in a number of applications and here we describe two: the measurement catecholamine levels using high-performance liquid chromatography (aided by a neurochemistry core) and the distribution of the vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) using a radioligand binding assay.
