Automated Lick Detection and Odor Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Licks were detected with a custom lickometer built using a capacitive touch sensor (Sparkfun) and a microcontroller (Arduino). The input to the touch sensor was soldered to a lick port (Popper animal feeding needle). Water was delivered by a gravity-assisted syringe attached to the lickometer, and controlled by a quiet solenoid valve (Lee Valve). Pure odorants (ethyl acetate and 2-pentanone, Sigma) were diluted to 4% v/v in paraffin oil (Sigma) and pressurized with air (1 L/min). Two 3-way valves (NResearch), with the normally open port connected to a blank vial and the normally closed port connected to an odor vial, controlled odor delivery. Odor delivery was controlled by actuating solenoid valves to switched airflow away from a blank valve and to the odor valve. Odors were delivered through a Teflon tube placed ~1 cm from the mouse’s nose. All valve openings were controlled with Bpod, which also recorded the time of licks, and synchronized odor timing with the camera.

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.
