Using muscimol and in vivo electrophysiological recordings to unveil the role of the deep cerebellar nuclei on social interaction behaviors in mice
Yi-Ting Lin, Wen-Sung Lai · FENS Forum 2024
Social interaction is a dynamic process wherein individuals exert reciprocal influence on one another. This process encompasses diverse types of behaviors which are infrequently delineated and examined distinctly. Moreover, while the quest for the social brain has mainly focused on the cerebrum, recent evidence has unveiled the potential engagement of cerebellar mechanisms in the regulation of social interactions. In this light, we microinfused muscimol (a GABAa receptor agonist) or saline into the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) of mice and measured their social behaviors in a modified version o
