Touch Panel Operant System for Neurological Deficit Research
Both visual discrimination (VD) and reversal learning (RL) in neurological studies are very important to study animals’ cognitive abilities.
Use head-fixation to identify neurons associated with voluntary movements
Head-fixation is widely used in the field of behavioral neuroscience in awake behaving animals to better understand the cortical involvement in animal behaviors.
Accurately monitor reward-oriented licking
Identifying efficient robust methods to monitor licking behavior in rodents is key to understanding the role of reward-oriented dopaminergic neural pathways in animal behavior.
Using the ELG-2 Wireless EEG system to examine the role of the claustrum in cortical slow-wave activity
During sleep and quiet wakeful states, the neocortex exhibits large-scale slow-wave (SW) activity. The synchronous generation of the neocortical SWs implies the existence of an as-yet unknown spatiotemporal coordinating mechanism with long-range afferents driving...

Scarce Microdialysis Goods May Delay Neuroscience Research
Even with thorough planning, global supply chain issues have caused delays in nearly every industry, including lab supplies. “Most often Amuza is able to ship microdialysis probes with one or two days.”
Successful fiber photometry in mazes and other complex environments
Fiber photometry is most commonly used to monitor activity and chemical signaling at a specific location in the brains of freely moving animals.
