B26-P: A Novel Optical Method for Quantifying Neural Activity
Assessment of neural activity in awake and behaving animals is notoriously complex, and often challenging for undergraduate students to implement in their research. In the last two years, a new technology has emerged that has dramatically simplified the assessment of neural activity in awake behaving animals, called Fiber Photometry, making it potentially useful in an […]
A66: A Novel Optical Method for Quantifying Neural Activity in Awake and Behaving Animals
The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) plays a critical role in reward, motivation, and decision making. DA circuits are altered in numerous psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and addiction. The ability to quantify the release of DA in various neural circuits can help us better understand the underlying neural mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. A recently developed […]
