09:11Results: Cell-type Specific Activity of Pyramidal Cell and PV Interneuron During Spontaneous Theta Oscillations in the Intact Hippocampal Preparation from a PV-TOM Mouse
Here, we present a protocol for recording rhythmic neuronal network theta and gamma oscillations from an isolated whole hippocampal preparation. We describe the experimental steps from extraction of the hippocampus to details of field, unitary and whole-cell patch clamp recordings as well as optogenetic pacing of the theta rhythm.
