Viral vectors for opto-electrode recording and photometry-based imaging of oxytocin neurons in anesthetized and socially interacting rats

NeuroNexus optoelectrodes, acute (A1x32-Poly3-10mm-50-177-OA32LP) as well as oDrive-implanted (A1x32-Poly3-10mm-50-177-OH32LP-21mm), are cited in the Cell Press STAR Protocols publication by Tang et al. with Alexandre Charlet’s group. The probes were used for simultaneous electrophysiological recording and opto-tagging of oxytocin neurons. This protocol includes tips for using NeuroNexus oDrives and for spike sorting silicon probe high-density recordings.
