Combined Recording of Mechanically Stimulated Afferent Output and Nerve Terminal Labelling in Mouse Hair Follicles

Source: Bewick, G. et al., Combined Recording of Mechanically Stimulated Afferent Output and Nerve Terminal Labelling in Mouse Hair Follicle Lanceolate Endings. J. Vis. Exp. (2016). This video demonstrates the combined recording of mechanically stimulated afferent output and nerve terminal labeling in the hair follicles of a mouse pinna. It outlines the steps involved in the mechanical stimulation of hair follicle nerve terminals before and after exposure to a fluorescent membrane dye, electrophysiology recording of the generated action potentials, and visualization of the nerve terminal labeling in the hair follicles.
