Repeated whole-cell patch-clamp recording from CA1 pyramidal cells in rodent hippocampal slices followed by axon initial segment labeling

Summary: This protocol allows repeated whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from individual rodent CA1 hippocampal neurons, followed by immunohistological labeling of the axon initial segment. This overcomes the need to maintain whole-cell recordings over the timescales required for homeostatic modific...

description Summary: This protocol allows repeated whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from individual rodent CA1 hippocampal neurons, followed by immunohistological labeling of the axon initial segment. This overcomes the need to maintain whole-cell recordings over the timescales required for homeostatic modification to cellular excitability, allowing for correlative analysis of the structure and function of neurons. Moreover, this protocol allows for paired analysis of physiological properties assessed before and after pharmacological treatment, thus providing increased statistical power, despite the relatively low-throughput nature of the recordings.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Booker et al. (2020a).
