Protocols for Jaidar et al., 2025 "Refinement of efficient encodings of movement in the dorsolateral striatum throughout learning"

Description

This protocol details the step-by-step process for the construction of guide cannulas, the administration of viral injections, and the subsequent insertion of cannulas in approximately 5-week-old mice. It also provides a detailed behavioral protocol used in this study. These procedures are designed to prepare the mice for long-term two-photon imaging studies.
