Male mice were sacrificed and extensively perfused with cold PBS. Brains were dissected into right and left hemispheres. The left hemisphere of the brain was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h at 4 °C. The right brain hemisphere was snap-frozen for RNA extraction. At least 24 h before sectioning, the fixed brains were transferred to a 20% sucrose (w/v) solution for cryoprotection. Coronal sections of 10 µm were cut on a freezing microtome, mounted on gelatin-coated slides.
