A new in utero electroporation (IUE) protocol has been developed to deliver genes preferentially into cerebellar Purkinje cells. IUE did not alter the physiological characteristics or normal synaptic plasticity of Purkinje cells. IUE allowed selective, effective, and temporally regulated expression of multiple foreign genes in Purkinje cells in vivo.
