Expression of the hM3Dq receptors in basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons and activation of neurons by Clozapine N-oxide (CNO). (A) Bilateral injections of AAV-DIO-hM3Dq-mCherry virus and the expression of hM3Dq-mcherry in BF cholinergic neurons (ChAT positive) (scale bar: 100 μm). (B) C-fos expression in cholinergic neurons after hM3Dq mice received CNO or saline intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection (scale bar: 100 μm). (C) Quantification of the proportion of mCherry-positive neurons expressing c-Fos under saline and CNO administration [p < 0.0001, n = 6 (1–2 sections per mouse), unpaired t-test]. ****p < 0.0001.
