Overall, 105 of total and sorted cells according to α4-integrin and Band 3 surface expression as previously described [23 (link)] were cytospun using the Thermo Scientific Shandon 4 Cytospin to validate the sorting gates. The slides were stained with May-Grünwald (Sigma Aldrich, MG500, St Quentin Fallavier, France) solution for 5 min, with May-Grünwald solution diluted by half for another 5 min, and subsequently stained with Giemsa solution (Sigma Aldrich, GS500, St Quentin Fallavier, France) diluted 10 times for 15 min. Cells were imaged using a Nikon Eclipse Ti-S inverted microscope with a 40 × /0.6 Plan Fluor objective.

Briefly, 1 × 105 cells in 200 μL were cytospun onto coated slides using the Thermo Scientific Shandon Cytospin. The slides were stained with May-Grünwald (Sigma MG500) solution for 5 minutes, rinsed in 40 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.2) for 90 seconds, and subsequently stained with Giemsa solution (Sigma GS500) for 15 minutes. The cells were imaged by using a Leica DM2000 inverted microscope.

Sorted cells were diluted in 250μl iscove’s modified delbecco medium (IMDM) containing 20% FBS and cytospun on glass slides using the Shandon Cytospin 2. The slides were stained with May-Grünwald (Sigma MG500) solution for 5 minutes, rinsed in 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) for 1.5 minutes, and then stained with a 1:20 diluted Giemsa solution (Sigma GS500) for 20 minutes. The cells were imaged in bright field using Evos microscope.

Approximately 2 × 105 total bone marrow cells were diluted in 250μl iscove’s modified delbecco medium (IMDM) containing 20% fetal bovine serum and cytospun on glass slides using the Shandon Cytospin 2. The slides were stained with May-Grünwald (Sigma MG500) solution for 5 minutes, rinsed in 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) for 1.5 minutes, and then stained with a 1:20 diluted Giemsa solution (Sigma GS500) for 20 minutes. The cells were imaged in bright field using Evos microscope.

Neurological Tissue Preparation for Histological Analysis

After the last neural recording, birds were overdosed with the ketamine/xylazine solution (1:1 ketamine 10 mg/mL + xylazine 2 mg/mL). Electrolytic lesions were made at the recording sites by applying a high-voltage current to the tetrodes for 10 s to 15 s. Then, the birds were perfused intracardially with the phosphate buffer (phosphate-buffered saline; 0.1 mol, pH = 7.4, 0.9% sodium chloride, 5 °C) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Brains were incubated for at least 2 d in PFA and a further 2 d in 30% sucrose solution in PFA. Coronal 60-μm brain sections were cut at −20 °C using a cryostat (Leica CM1850 UV), mounted on glass slides, stained with the Giemsa dye (MG500, Sigma-Aldrich), and coverslipped with Eukitt (FLUKA). Brain sections were examined under the stereomicroscope (Stemi 508, Carl Zeiss) to estimate the anatomical position of recording sites.

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.
