Abstract

This protocol involves real-time monitoring of circadian rhythms in brain slices from adult mice.

  • The method combines protective cutting of brain slices with monitoring of circadian oscillations.
  • It is designed to assess how brain damage influences local circadian clocks.
  • The protocol allows for the investigation of circadian variations in adjacent brain areas.
  • Further studies could clarify whether these circadian variations are harmful or beneficial.
