In Utero Cortical Electroporation of Plasmids in the Mouse Embryo.

Géraldine Meyer-Dilhet | Julien Courchet
STAR protocols | 2020

The cerebral cortex is composed of an exquisitely complex network of interconnected neurons supporting the higher cognitive functions of the brain. Here, we provide a fully detailed, step-by-step protocol to perform in utero cortical electroporation of plasmids, a simple surgical procedure designed to manipulate gene expression in a subset of glutamatergic pyramidal cortical neurons in vivo. This method has been used to visualize defects in neuronal migration, axon projections, terminal axon branching, or dendrite and synapse development. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Courchet et al., 2013, Mairet-Coello et al., 2013 or Shimojo et al. (2015).

ADJUST (tool)

RRID:SCR_009526

A completely automatic algorithm for artifact identification and removal in EEG data. ADJUST is based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA), a successful but unsupervised method for isolating artifacts from EEG recordings. ADJUST identifies artifacted ICA components by combining stereotyped artifact-specific spatial and temporal features. Features are optimised to capture blinks, eye movements and generic discontinuities. Once artifacted IC are identified, they can be simply removed from the data while leaving the activity due to neural sources almost unaffected.
