Mice at 6 to 10 months were anesthetised with 0.3 mg/g Pentobarbital (Mebunat 60 mg/mL) mixed 50:50 with 0.9% NaCl. Mice were perfused transcardially on ice bedding using 10–20 mL 0.9% NaCl followed by 25–50 mL of buffer comprising 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.125% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M Sorensen’s phosphate buffer (NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4, pH 7.2). The brain was post-fixed in 50 mL 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer for 4–12 h at +4 °C. Coronal sections of 180 to 200 µm were sectioned using a vibratome. The nuclei were visualized using DAPI (4′,6-diamino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride; InvitrogenSelected)). Neurons were injected by iontophoresis with Lucifer yellow dye (Invitrogen) using pulled borosilicate glass tubes (World Precision Instruments). The DC current source was 2–6 nA from a dual micro-iontophoresis current generator, model 260 (World Precision Instruments). After dye loading, brain slices were transferred to a slide and mounted using Shandon PermaFluor mounting medium (ThermoFisher).

Mice at 6–8 months were anesthetized with 0.3 mg/g Pentobarbital (Mebunat 60 mg/ml) mixed 50:50 with 0.9% NaCl. Mice were perfused transcardially on ice bedding using 10–20 ml 0.9% NaCl followed by 25–50 ml of buffer comprising 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.125% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M Sorensen’s phosphate buffer (NaH2PO4–Na2HPO4, pH 7.2). The brain was post-fixed in 50 ml 4.0% PFA in phosphate buffer for 4–12 h at +4°C. Coronal sections of 180–200 μm were sectioned using a vibratome. The nuclei were visualized using DAPI (4,6-diamino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (Invitrogen). Pyramidal neurons in the motor cortex and the hippocampus were located according to the Atlas of C57BL/6 mouse brains (Hof et al., 2000 ). Selected neurons were injected by iontophoresis with lucifer yellow dye (Invitrogen) using pulled borosilicate glass tubes (World Precision Instruments). The DC current source was 2–6 nA from a dual micro-iontophoresis current generator, model 260 (World Precision Instruments). After dye loading, brain slices were transferred to a slide and mounted using Shandon PermaFluor mounting medium (ThermoFisher).

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.
