Mice were perfused with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The brains were cross-sectioned into 50-μm sections using a vibrating microtome (Leica) and the brain sections were post fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PSB. Antigen retrieval process was performed with Proteinase K (Catalog number; P2308, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The sections were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 30 min at room temperature and incubated with anti-PSD95 (Catalog number; 51-6900, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and anti-vGlut1 (Catalog number; ab5905, Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) overnight at 4 °C. Then, the sections were incubated with the appropriate fluorescent-conjugated secondary antibodies and Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) for 30 min at room temperature. Images were obtained using a confocal microscope (Leica). Synaptic protein puncta were analyzed using Synapse Counter plugin from ImageJ (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). For each mouse, three brain sections with a section periodicity of six were analyzed and the obtained data were averaged. For each experimental group, three mice were used.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
