Selective Neuromodulator Effects on Mouse Behavior

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In all experiments mice were administered the selective COMT inhibitor tolcapone (30mg/kg; TRC Inc)(25 (link),41 (link)) and/or the selective DAT blocker GBR-12909 dihydrochloride (6mg/kg, Tocris)(42 (link)). These doses are effective at altering behavior without causing motor stereotypies (see Supplementary Information). D-amphetamine (in sulfate formulation; Tocris) was used at 4mg/kg (43 (link)), and the NET blocker atomoxetine (in hydrochloride formulation; Tocris) at 1mg/kg (44 (link)) in the voltammetry experiment only. All drugs were dissolved in 20% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Acros Organics) in 0.9% saline (AquPharm), which served as a vehicle control in all experiments. All drugs were delivered by intraperitoneal injection.

Amphetamine-induced gene expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue for RNA analysis was obtained following cervical dislocation and isolation of the brain. To assess sensitivity to amphetamine an intraperitoneal injection of saline or 0.5 mg/kg D‐amphetamine (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) was administered. Brains were isolated 60 min following injection by cervical dislocation and ventral striatum was isolated. Embryonic RNA was extracted using PARIS kit (Life Technologies, UK). Adult RNA was extracted using standard phenol extraction methods and DNase treated using RNAse‐free DNase treatment and removal kit (Applied Biosystems, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Expression was normalized (ΔCt) to the geometric mean Ct value of βactin and Hprt as these genes have previously been verified in‐house. Statistical analysis was carried out on transformed ΔCt values.

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.
