Here are some tips to for using the miniscopes to run experiments on freely moving mice.


Experimental Timeline

Plan you experiments schedule accordingly. Here is a typical timeline for getting mice ready for experiments in freely moving mice.

  -Week 1: virus injection surgery
  -Week 2: GRIN lens implant surgery
  -Week 3: recovery
  -Week 4: base plate surgery + acclimation to experimenters/handling
  -Week 5: habituation to wearing miniscopes & setting imaging focal plane
  -Week 6: begin experiment!
