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!
