Calcium imaging of adult-born neurons in freely moving mice

Summary: Adult-born neurons (ABNs) in the dentate gyrus bestow unique cellular plasticity to the mammalian brain. We recently found that the activity of ABNs during sleep is necessary for memory consolidation. Here, we describe our method for Ca2+ imaging of ABN activity using a miniaturized fluores...
