Protocol for the integration of fiber photometry and social behavior in rodent models

Summary: Fiber photometry offers insight into cell-type-specific activity underlying social interactions. We provide a protocol for the integration of fiber photometry recordings into the analysis of social behavior in rodent models. This includes considerations during surgery, notes on synchronizin...

Description
Summary:Summary: Fiber photometry offers insight into cell-type-specific activity underlying social interactions. We provide a protocol for the integration of fiber photometry recordings into the analysis of social behavior in rodent models. This includes considerations during surgery, notes on synchronizing fiber photometry with behavioral recordings, advice on using multi-animal behavioral tracking software, and scripts for the analysis of fiber photometry recordings.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Dawson et al. (2023).1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
