experiments

Electrophysiology

Technique involving thin brain tissue slices to record or deliver electrical signals to neurons.

Immunostaining

Technique using antibodies to tag proteins for visualization and answering questions about protein expression in different brain regions.

Lesions

Methods to induce damage in brain tissue, including electrical lesions and excitotoxic lesions.

Temporary Inactivation

Technique to temporarily block neural circuit activity using glutamate antagonists or enhance inhibition with GABA agonists.

Mild Electrical Stimulation

Method to stimulate specific brain regions by delivering controlled electrical currents.

Neurotransmitter Stimulation

Technique involving intracranial microinjections of glutamate or GABA agonists to enhance excitation or inhibition of neural circuits.
