Abstract:
The advent of recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector-mediated gene delivery has accelerated the comprehensive analysis and manipulation of the nervous system owing to its ability to regulate gene expression in a spatiotemporal manner, thereby facilitating the study of brain physiology and the investigation of the pathophysiology of neurological disorders. Here, we provide a concise guide to stereotaxic gene delivery into the mouse brain using rAAV vectors. Key considerations for designing a customized rAAV vector are discussed, along with an overview of the surgical procedures of intracranial stereotaxic injection. This article aims to assist neuroscientists in establishing experimental setups for genetic manipulation in the mouse brain.
