Mice In House Colony FosCreER X hM3Dq (n=?? male DOB +/-, n=?? female DOB +/-)

Drug Preparation: Isotonic LiCl (0.15M,20ml/kg, i.p) followed by 4-OHT prepared at 5mg/ml (50mg/kg,10ml/kg, i.p) or Sesame oil vehicle (10ml/kg i.p) after 10 min.

Pre Treatment (1/28/24) 2 weeks before starting water restriction
4 groups:

1. Isotonic LiCl and 4-OHT, N=12: Excitatory DREADDs are expected to be expressed

2. Isotonic Saline and sesame oil, N=11: No DREADDs are expected to be expressed
