Optogenetic VTA Stimulation for fMRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For VTA stimulation, a plastic patch cord (240-μm core diameter, 0.63 NA, 6-m long; Doric Lenses, Quebec, Quebec, Canada), attached to a 473-nm blue laser diode (CrystaLaser, Reno, NV, USA) and controlled by a Master-8 pulse generator (A.M.P.I., Jerusalem, USA), was connected to the implanted optical fiber with a zirconia sleeve (Doric Lenses, Quebec, Quebec, Canada). The light power output was calibrated at the tip of the optical fiber with a broadband power meter (Melles Griot, Carlsbad, CA). The right VTA was stimulated with a pulsed train of light (20 Hz, 5-ms pulse width, 20 s) at an optimal power level (2.5 – 7.5 mW) that elicited maximal activation in downstream areas but did not evoke a MABP change. The same laser power was used for BOLD and CBVw fMRI within the same rat. The onset and offset times for the pulse paradigms were controlled by the MRI acquisition computer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
