We use these methods:
- Electrophysiology
- whole-cell recordings
- single-unit recordings
- field potentials
- EMG
- Neuropharmacology
- Optogenetics
- DREADDS
- Calcium imaging fiber photometry
- Microdialysis
- Behavioral conditioning
- Video tracking
- Histology
- Single-cell reconstructions
- AAV injections and cannula tracing
… in mice that are under these conditions …
- Freely behaving (tethered)
- Head-fixed
- Anesthetized
- Brain slices (in vitro)
Rigor is an important consideration in our work. Our experiments and analyses are automated (coded), so there are fewer confounding variables.
