Ultra Highspeed Megapixel CMOS Imaging Camera

This acquisition is to purchase of a ultra high speed megapixel CMOS imaging camera (PHANTOM VEO 1310L, MONO 72GB MEMORY) from Vision Research Inc. The ultra high speed imaging camera from Vision Research will be used in experiments that will be performed by the Cellular Neurophysiology Section at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (CNS/NINDS). The experiments being performed will directly test the effects of alterations in neural circuitry in various animal models of Parkinsons Disease. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how synaptic and intrinsic conductances expressed on these neurons differ among subpopulations dopamine neurons. We are also interested in understanding how the synaptic and circuit connections onto these cells control their activity
