“…Mice (4 months old) were deeply anesthetized with urethane (1.5 g/kg, i.p.) and transcardially perfused with artificial cerebral spinal fluid (ACSF) (in mM: NaCl 124, KCl 2.8, NaH 2 PO 4 .H 2 O 1.25, CaCl 2 2.0, MgSO 4 1.2, Na‐vitamin C 0.4, NaHCO 3 26, Na‐lactate 2.0, Na‐pyruvate 2.0 and D‐glucose 10.0, pH = 7.4) prior to decapitation as described previously (Du et al, ; Huang et al, ). Then, hippocampal slices were coronally sectioned (400 μm) with a vibratome (VT1200S, Leica Microsystems, Bannockburn, IL) with 95% O 2 and 5% CO 2 , and then were incubated in ACSF for 2 hr at 35°C.…”
