Mice were anesthetized with 1% pentobarbital sodium and perfused transcardially with 0.1 mol/L PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in 0.1 mol/L PBS. The brain was removed and post-fixed overnight in 4% PFA at 4℃, then equilibrated in 30% sucrose. After embedding in OCT, the brain tissue was cut at 30 µm on a Leica cryostat or cooled-stage microtome and stored in 0.1 mol/L PBS at 4℃. For immunostaining, sections were incubated with 0.5% Triton X-100 (PBST) for 30 min at room temperature and 5% BSA in PBST for 30 min at room temperature, then incubated in primary antibodies (ChAT 1:100, Millipore, AB144P, c-fos 1:300, Abcam, ab214672; CaMKIIα 1:300, GeneTex, GTX127939; GAD67 1:300, Millipore, MAB5406) in 5% BSA in PBST overnight at 4℃.

After another 3 washes in PBST, the sections were incubated with DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology) and mounted on glass slides with a fluorescence mounting medium. Fluorescent signals were imaged with a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 780, Zeiss, Germany). The number of fluorescent cells was counted by ImageJ 1.48v (National Institutes of Health, USA).

After a minimum of 6 weeks of recovery, the animals were euthanized following AVMA guidelines. The animals were perfused transcardially with heparinized saline followed by a solution of 4% or paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer. For each case, the brain was removed and cryoprotected through an ascending series of glycerol solutions.

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.
