Abstract
Multiple patch-clamp recordings and morphological reconstruction are powerful approaches for neuronal microcircuitry dissection and cell type classification but are challenging due to the sophisticated expertise needed. Here, we present a protocol for applying these techniques to neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) of mice. We detail steps to prepare brain slices containing MEC and perform simultaneous multiple whole-cell recordings, followed by procedures of histological staining and neuronal reconstruction. We then describe how we analyze morphological and electrophysiological features. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Shi et al.1.
