Treadmill-based task for assessing spatial memory in head-fixed mice

Summary: Several mouse in vivo neuronal recording techniques require head fixation. Head-fixed treadmill walking can be used to design tasks that enable the study of neural activity in the context of behavior. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for constructing a treadmill with tactile spatial cue...
