“…Sections were incubated in 10 mM sodium citrate at 80 °C for 20 min and then washed three times in PBS. Tissue was blocked for 1 h with 5% normal donkey serum or 5% normal goat serum (Abcam) at room temperature and incubated at 4 °C with primary antibodies against c-Fos (1:2000, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 226003; RRID: AB_2231974 ) [ 25 ], dsRed (1:1000, Clontech, Cat# 632392; RRID: AB_2801258 ) [ 26 ], GFP (1:1000, Abcam, Cat# ab13970; RRID: AB_300798 ) [ 27 ], TH (1:200, Cat# 22941; RRID: AB_572268 , Immunostar) [ 28 ], PrRP (1:1000, Abcam, Cat# ab251707), Ha (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Ca# 3724; RRID: AB_1549585 ) [ 29 ] GFRAL (1:200, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# PA5-47769; RRID: AB_2607220 ), and SYP (1:500, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 101 011; RRID: AB_887824 ) [ 30 ]. The sections were then mounted on slides and coverslipped with Prolong Diamond (Thermo Fisher Scientific).…”
