Whereas multiphoton imaging is only effective at limited depths from the tissue’s surface, it is possible to achieve 3 µm resolution imaging at any depth via pCLE. Here, we present a protocol to conduct pCLE imaging to measure microvascular dynamics in the hippocampus of ictal and wild-type mice.

Here, we describe a detailed method for mitochondria isolation from mouse skeletal muscle and the subsequent analysis of respiration by Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) using microplate-based respirometric assays. This pipeline can be applied to study the effects of multiple environmental or genetic interventions on mitochondrial metabolism.
