Additional Details
We were injecting into medial septum and attempting to avoid lateral septum and diagonal band; Medial septum; Viral expression was well-contained within the medial septum. Terminal expression was seen in common terminating regions and particularly widespread in the hippocampus

Age at Injection
Young adult (weight 300-325 grams)
Time After Injection
8 weeks for cell body expression, 12 weeks for terminal expression.
Detection Method
Immunohistochemistry
Assay & Results
Viral expression was well-contained within the medial septum. Terminal expression was seen in common terminating regions and particularly widespread in the hippocampus.
Functional Testing
We injected CNO and vehicle when using this empty vector virus and the hM3Dq-containing virus and both worked as expected
Tips & Comments
0.8 uL was perfect for effective expression within the medial septum without expanding too far into lateral and ventral regions. Leaving the needle in the region of infusion for a few minutes after the infusion is complete and raising the needle slowly is important for keeping the virus in the place of infusion.
