We use mouse brain tissue in our lab. Following dissection we place the tissue in RNA Later. Then it's homogenized using a Wheaton Dounce Homogenizer in Trizol and then use the RNeasy system from Qiagen.

Similar to Mighty Mouse, we add the tissue to RNAlater, but quick-freezing tissue is fine. Homogenize either in Trizol or any commercially available RNA prep kit (we use Qiagen RNeasy). I might recommend DNase-treating prior to preparing cDNA as tissue is more "messy" than cell line. And treat as normal after that.
