Cocaine HCl (from the National Institute on Drug Abuse) was diluted in 0.9% NaCl saline solution (ICU Medical) and injected intraperitoneally at 20, 10 or 5 mg/kg. Morphine SO4 (from the National Institute on Drug Abuse) was diluted in 0.9% NaCl saline solution (ICU Medical) and injected subcutaneously at 7.5 mg/kg. HX531 (Tocris, Cat. No. 3912) was first diluted in DMSO (Sigma), then in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS, Gibco) to a 1% DMSO final concentration and injected intraperitoneally 20 min before testing at 20 mg/kg in mice, and to a 5% DMSO final concentration and injected intraperitoneally 30 min before testing at 12 mg/kg in rats. For chemogenetics, clozapine-N-oxide (CNO) dihydrochloride (Tocris, #6329) was diluted in PBS and injected intraperitoneally 15 min before testing at 2 mg/kg.

Imipramine (I0899, Sigma-Aldrich), corticosterone (C2505, Sigma-Aldrich), NBI27914 hydrochloride (1591, Tocris Bioscience), RU486 (M8046, Sigma-Aldrich), and Clozapine N-oxide (CNO) dihydrochloride (6329, Tocris Bioscience) were diluted in 0.9 % saline and injected intraperitoneally in a volume of 120 μl.

Chemogenetic Manipulation of Mouse Behavior

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Viral pAAV-hsyn-DIO-hm4D(Gi) (Addgene_44362-AAV5) injected mice were administered intraperitoneally with Clozapine N-oxide dihydrochloride (CNO, 2mg/kg, Tocris) ten minutes before the licking or tail shocking task. Only the mice reached stable behavioral level (after at least two test phases and (LO – DO < 3s) in all test phases) were used for chemogenetic experiments. In the licking task, mice were re-trained to lick the water one to two times after recovery from CNO administration. The re-trained phases were not included in test phases.

Modulating Neuronal Activity in GAD2-Cre Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On recording days, saline or CNO (5 mg/kg, clozapine N-oxide dihydrochloride, Tocris Bioscience) was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) into GAD2-Cre mice expressing hM4D(Gi) or mCherry in the dmM. Injections occurred at 10:30 am. Each recording session began 30 min after injection and each animal contributed 2 saline and 2 CNO recording sessions to the data set. The order of injection days (saline vs CNO) was randomly assigned. For statistical analysis, we compared the impact of CNO or saline in hM4D(Gi) or mCherry-expressing mice on the brain state using mixed ANOVA with virus (mCherry vs hM4D(Gi)) and drug (saline vs CNO) as within and between factors, followed by pairwise t-tests with Bonferroni correction.

Chemogenetic Experiments with EEG/EMG/LFP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For chemogenetic experiments, animals were tethered to a flexible cable for EEG/EMG/LFP recordings20 (link). On recording days, mice received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of saline or CNO (Clozapine N-oxide dihydrochloride, Tocris, Cat. No. 6329). Mice expressing hM3D(Gq) in the dmM received 0.25 mg/kg CNO, while mice expressing hM4D(Gi) received a dose of 5 mg/kg. Recording sessions began immediately after injection, and each animal contributed 2 saline and 2 CNO recordings to the dataset. mCherry control mice received both CNO doses, and underwent 4 saline and 4 CNO recording sessions in total. The order of injection days (saline vs CNO) was randomly determined.

Viral pAAV-hsyn-DIO-hm4D(Gi) (Addgene_44362-AAV5) injected mice were administered intraperitoneally with Clozapine N-oxide dihydrochloride (CNO, 2mg kg−1, Tocris) ten minutes before the licking or tail shocking task. Only the mice reached stable behavioral level (after at least two test phases and (LO – DO < 3s) in all test phases) were used for chemogenetic experiments. In the licking task, mice were re-trained to lick the water one to two times after recovery from CNO administration. The re-trained phases were not included in test phases.

Chemogenetic Inhibition of CA1 during Training

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To chemogenetically inhibit CA1 during training, a Gi coupled DREADD (AAV9-hSyn- hM4D(Gi)-mCherry) virus was injected in CA1 (AAV9-hSyn-mCherry for controls) bilaterally along with injection of AAV9-hSyn-GCaMP6f into AC. Craniotomy and coverslip implant was performed on the mice two weeks after injection. Mice were water deprived and habituated after two weeks of recovery. 5mg/kg Clozapine N-oxide dihydrochloride (Tocris; Cat. No. 6329) was delivered intraperitoneally to both control (mCherry) and inhibited (hM4DGi) cohorts throughout training days 1–3. Retrieval was performed the following day. Mice were imaged on training day 3 and retrieval day 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.
