During each recording session, EEG, EMG, and left eye pupillometry were performed on head-fixed mice: sessions lasted 3-6 h/day in the light phase within Zeitgeber time 2-9 (10 AM to 6 PM). Specifically, EEG and EMG were amplified 1000 times with filter configurations of 1-300 Hz and 10-300 Hz, respectively, (Model 3000; A-M Systems), analog-to-digital converted (16-bit depth; NI-9215; National Instruments, Austin, TX, USA), and recorded at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz using a custom written program (LabVIEW 2016; National Instruments) on a personal computer (Windows 10 Pro; Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA). Images of the mouse left eye were captured using a custom-written program (LabVIEW 2016; National Instruments, Austin, TX, USA) on the PC at 30.3 ± 16.5 Hz (mean ±SD) with an infrared (IR) LED ring light (940 nm, FRS5 JS; OptoSupply, Hong Kong) and a USB camera for which the IR cut-off filter was removed beforehand (BSW200MBK; Buffalo, Aichi, Japan). A single recording session was performed once a day for 3-6 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vivo dual-site extracellular recordings were conducted as described with a few modifications (Noguchi et al., 2017 ; Chen et al., 2019 ). Rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (IP 80 mg/kg, Sigma, United States) then head-fixed in a stereotaxic apparatus (RWD Life Science, China) with body temperature maintained between 36 and 37°C. When necessary, a supplemental dose of anesthesia was given based on tail reflex. After a midline skin incision was made, two skull holes were drilled above the ACC (2.5 mm anterior to the bregma, 0.4 mm lateral to the midline, 1.7-2.0 mm depth) and the dorsal CA1 subregion of the HIPP (3.6 mm posterior to the bregma, 2.0 mm lateral to the midline, 2.2–2.5 mm depth, 10°) under a stereomicroscope (Sunny Optical Technology, China). Two glass microelectrodes for recording (filled with 0.5 M NaCl, resistance 4–6 MΩ) were slowly inserted until the tips of the electrodes reached the ACC and hippocampal CA1. Each recorded signal was amplified (1,000x) by an electrometer amplifier (Model 3000; A-M Systems, United States) and digitized via a D/A converter (Micro 1401; Cambridge Electronic Design, Ltd., United Kingdom), then sent to data acquisition software (Spike2; Cambridge Electronic Design).

Cortical Local Field Potential Recording

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A single channel local field potential (LFP) was recorded by placing a glass electrode (impedance, 2–4 MΩ) filled with 0.9% saline into the cortex at an acute ~45° angle. The LFP was amplified and filtered between 0.1 and 1000 Hz using an AC/DC Differential Amplifier (Model 3000, A-M Systems, Carlsborg, WA). The signal was then digitized by a CED Power 1401 (Cambridge Electronic Design, Cambridge UK), and recorded onto a PC using Spike as previously described (Zhao et al., 2009 (link)). In some experiments, multi-channel depth electrodes were employed for multi-layer recordings (16 channels with 100 μm spacing, site area 177 μm2, 1.5–2.7 MΩs impedance, and 33 μm tip width; Neuronexus Technologies, Ann Arbor, MI), coupled to a preamplifier and data acquisition device (RZ5D workstation, TDT, Alachua, FL) using RPvdsEx software (TDT, Alachua, FL) (Harris et al., 2013 (link)).

In vivo dual-site extracellular recordings were conducted as described (Engel et al., 2001 (link)). Mice were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (IP 80 mg/kg), then head-fixed in a stereotaxic apparatus (RWD Life Science) with body temperature maintained between 36 and 37°C. When necessary, a supplemental dose of anesthesia was given based on tail reflex. After a midline skin incision was made, two skull holes were drilled above the mPFC (1.98 mm anterior to the bregma, 0.5 mm lateral to the midline, 1.2 mm depth) and the CA1 subregion of the HIPP (−2.06 mm posterior to the bregma, −1.5 mm lateral to the midline, 1.0 mm depth) under a stereomicroscope (Sunny Optical Technology). Two glass microelectrodes for recording (filled with 0.5 M NaCl, with a resistance of 1.0–1.5 MΩ) were slowly inserted until the tips of the electrodes reached the mPFC and hippocampal CA1. Each recorded signal was amplified (1,000×) by an electrometer amplifier (Model 3000; A-M Systems) and digitized via a D/A converter (Micro 1401; Cambridge Electronic Design), then sent to data acquisition software (Spike2; Cambridge Electronic Design).

Kainic Acid-Induced Oscillatory Activity in Organoids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Organoids were recorded between age day ~100-107. Live organoids were perfused with 500nM kainic acid in aCSF (containing in mM: NaCl 126, D-glucose 10, MgCl2 1.2, CaCl2 2, KCl 5, NaH2PO4 1.25, Na Pyruvate 1.5, L-Glutamine 1, NaHCO3 26, pH 7.3-7.4 when bubbled with 95% O2, 5% CO2) to initiate oscillatory network activity. LFP activity was recorded using a patch pipette filled with aCSF connected with a head stage to a field amplifier (A-M Systems Inc., model 3000), and band pass filtered between 0.1 and 1000 Hz by to an instrumentation amplifier (Brownlee BP Precision, model 210A). Field potentials were digitized at 4096 Hz with a National Instruments A/D board using EVAN (custom-designed LabView-based software from Thotec) and analyzed with custom procedures (Wavemetrics, Igor Pro 8). Lower frequency activity was visualized for 10-minute epochs using power spectral densities (PSDs), which were calculated using the “dsperiodogram” function of Igor Pro, and spectrograms, which were generated using the Gabor method on Igor Pro. High frequency activity up to 650 Hz was visualized by generating Morlet wavelet plots of 0.5-1.0 second epochs of the raw traces used for low frequency analyses. Inter-spike intervals and spike frequencies were tabulated on Igor Pro using the identical 10-minute epochs used above.

During the entire imaging session, the vigilance states were monitored using real-time EEG/EMG differential recordings amplifier (Model 3000, A-M systems). Signals were sampled at 1kHz. EEG was filtered in the frequency band [0.5Hz-300Hz], while EMG was filtered in the [10-500Hz] frequency band. EEG data were analyzed using a custom MATLAB© software. Power spectra and probability distributions of EEG magnitude were estimated for the total duration of anesthesia. Time-frequency representation was performed with a 4s duration sliding FFT (fast Fourier transform) window and 0.5s step size.

EEG/EMG-based sleep/wake classification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The EEG/EMG was monitored and continuously recorded using a differential amplifier (Model 3000, A-M systems). EEG and EMG signals were sampled at 1 kHz and band-pass filtered with 0.5–300 Hz and 10–500 Hz, respectively, and recorded via Prairie View (Bruker, Nano Surfaces Division, Madison, WI, USA). EEG/EMG data were analyzed using a custom Matlab (Mathworks, Massachusetts, USA) script. EEG power as well as EMG power spectra were calculated over a 4s-width sliding time window. Wake state criteria were: Increased EMG and high theta/delta ratio (>2). NREM sleep criteria were defined by low EMG activity power and high delta/theta ratio (>2), while REM sleep criteria consisted of high theta/delta power ratio (>4) and muscle atonia, characterized by an almost null EMG power. Sleep and wake episodes were defined using a manually established EMG threshold to fit with expert scoring. Episodes containing >90% and <25% of wake time were recognized as wake and sleep respectively.

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.
