Description
The RZ5P is a computer processor built specifically for fiber photometry data acquisition and processing. This process involves modulating different wavelengths of light at very specific sinusoidal frequencies and then receiving that signal back, at rates of up to 50 KHz, and demodulating it in real time. The Synapse software and accompanying computer card are required to control the processor.
The Laboratory on Neurobiology of Compulsive Behaviors (LNCBA) aims to understand the causes of substance use disorder (SUD). These processors enable us to record fluorescent neurotransmitters (dopamine, for example) while animals learn and perform behaviors and/or are administered substances commonly misused in SUD. Through these experiments, we learn how dopamine and other neurotransmitters are altered by specific behaviors and substances.
