All procedures were performed in accordance with protocols approved by the University of California San Diego Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (UCSD IACUC protocol S16171) and guidelines from the US National Institutes of Health Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Mice were group housed, maintained on a 12-hour reversed light/dark cycle, and allowed ad libitum access to food and water. Experiments were performed under red lighting during the dark period. Strains used include the following: C57Bl/6J (Jackson Laboratory stock #664), DBH-cre (MMRRC/GENSAT #032081-UCD, Tg(DBH-cre)HK212Gsat/Mmucd), VGLUT2-IRES-cre (Jackson Laboratory stock #028863, B6J.129S6(FVB)-Slc17a6tm2(cre)Lowl/MwarJ), and VGAT-IRES-cre (Jackson Laboratory stock #028862, B6J.129S6(FVB)-Slc32a1tm2(cre)Lowl/MwarJ). Ai14 tdTomato (Jackson Laboratory stock #7914, B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J) and Oprm1fl/fl (Jackson Laboratory stock #30074, B6;129-Oprm1tm1.1Cgrf/KffJ) mice were also obtained from Jackson Labs, but bred in-house to DBH-cre mice. Mice were used for experiments between the ages of 8–20 weeks. Both male and female mice were used for all experiments.

All procedures were performed in accordance with protocols approved by the University of California, San Diego Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (UCSD IACUC protocol S16171) and guidelines from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Mice were group-housed, maintained on a 12-hour reversed light/dark cycle, and allowed ad libitum access to food and water. Experiments were performed under red lighting during the dark period. Strains used include the following: C57Bl/6J (The Jackson Laboratory, stock no. 664), Dbh-cre [MMRRC/GENSAT, no. 032081-UCD, Tg(DBH-cre)HK212Gsat/Mmucd], Slc17a6-IRES-cre [Vglut2-cre, The Jackson Laboratory, stock no. 028863, B6J.129S6(FVB)-Slc17a6tm2(cre)Lowl/MwarJ], and Slc32a1-IRES-cre [Vgat-IRES-cre, The Jackson Laboratory, stock no. 028862, B6J.129S6(FVB)-Slc32a1tm2(cre)Lowl/MwarJ]. Ai14 tdTomato [The Jackson Laboratory, stock no. 7914, B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J] and Oprm1fl/fl (The Jackson Laboratory, stock no. 30074, B6;129-Oprm1tm1.1Cgrf/KffJ) mice were also obtained from The Jackson Laboratory but bred in-house to Dbh-cre mice. Mice were used for experiments between the ages of 8 to 20 weeks. Both male and female mice were used for all experiments.

Optogenetic Manipulation of Inhibitory Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All procedures were in accordance with protocols approved by the Johns Hopkins University Animal Care and Use Committee (protocols: MO18M187, MO21M195). Mice were housed in a room on a reverse light-dark cycle, with each phase lasting 12 hours, and maintained at 20–25°C and 30–70% humidity. Prior to surgery, mice were housed in groups of up to 5, but afterwards housed individually. Fifteen mice (12 male, 3 female) were obtained by crossing VGAT-IRES-Cre (Jackson Labs: 028862; B6J.129S6(FVB)-Slc32a1tm2(cre)Lowl/MwarJ)42 (link) with Ai32 (Jackson Labs: 012569; B6;129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm32(CAG-COP4*H134R/EYFP)Hze/J)43 (link) lines. Two (1 male, 1 female) were heterozygous VGAT-ChR2-EYFP (Jackson Labs: 014548; B6.Cg-Tg(Slc32a1-COP4*H134R/EYFP)8Gfng/J)44 (link) mice. Twelve (9 male, 3 female) were wild-type mice, including nine C57BL/6J (Jackson Labs: 000664) mice, one wild-type littermate for each of VGAT-ChR2-EYFP, TH-Cre (Jackson Labs: 008601; B6.Cg-7630403G23RikTg(TH-Cre)1Tmd/J)45 (link), and Etv1-Cre−/− (Jackson Labs: 013048)46 (link). Two were male TH-Cre mice. Two (1 male, 1 female) were Advillin-Cre (Jackson Labs: 032536; B6.129P2-Aviltm2(cre)Fawa/J)47 (link) mice. Mice ranged in age from ~2–9 months at the start of training. A set of behavioural testing sessions typically lasted ~1 month (Supplementary Table 1).

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.
