Here we show advances on all three fronts: we specifically modulate cholinergic signaling of striatal interneurons by shRNAmir and pair it with a chemogenetic silencing receptor, hM4Di_CFP, that can function as an in vivo and in situ reporter. Quantitative analyses by visual and deep learning assisted methods confirm coregulation of hM4Di_CFP and ChAT protein suppression for several shRNAmir constructs. hM4Di_CFP thus acts as a readout for shRNAmir and potential regional silencing control.<br></div></div> 2020-07-07 21:14:58 shRNAmir Lentivirus Choline Acetyltransferase Chemogenetics
