Monitoring Dopamine Release in a Rat Model with VTA Dopaminergic Neuron Receptor Manipulation
Source: Wickham, R. J., et al. Combined Infusion and Stimulation with Fast-Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (CIS-FSCV) to Assess Ventral Tegmental Area Receptor Regulation of Phasic Dopamine. J. Vis. Exp. (2020). This video demonstrates the implantation of electrodes and cannulas in an anesthetized rat to measure dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens using a potentiostat and the infusion of drugs to modulate dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area.
