Abstract
This protocol describes the process for diaminobenzidine (DAB) detection of biocytin filled cells. This protocol is optimized for use with brain slices cut at 350 µm thick, in which cells are first filled with biocytin (i.e., post-electrophysiological recording), fixed in 4% PFA/2.5% glutaraldehyde, and transferred to PBS until ready to stain.
