Fiber photometry is an optical technique for measuring chemical signaling in the brain of a freely behaving animal.

Cui et al. record in the striatum of freely-moving animals using their newly developed in vivo photometry method.

Meng et al. design a spectrometer-based photometry system that allows for recording in multiple colors.

Pisano et al. utilize tapered fibers to achieve depth-resolved fiber photometry.

Adjust the camera settings to record up at speeds up to 100 Hz by following a simple procedure.

The Neurophotometrics team is proud to announce the publication of our collaborative work with the Proulx lab at CERVO Brain Research Centre of Université Laval. Special thanks to our collaborators, Ekaterina Martianova and Christophe Proulx, for making this work possible!

Bonsai is an open source software capable of processing many heterogeneous streams of data in parallel; it is also our software of choice for running fiber photometry experiments using a Neurophotometrics system.

After deciding on an experimental paradigm, you will need to cleave your fibers to reach your brain region(s) of interest.

While Neurophotometrics does not currently manufacture patch cords, we are happy to provide guidance so that your selection is the most compatible with your fiber photometry system and experimental setup.

Neurophotometrics will officially become an open source company upon the release of our second-generation fiber photometry system, the FP3002.

After you have set up your system, you will need to align it to your patch cord.

Important considerations to give you a jump-start on the road to learning how to identify good photometry data in real time.

Neurophotometrics is very excited for the upcoming launch of Version 2 (V2/FP3002), our second-generation fiber photometry system.

In this data highlight, we present an example of a FIP signal that predicts the duration of a drinking bout with nearly 100% accuracy.

This data highlight features experiments from Christophe Proulx’s laboratory at the CERVO Brain Research Center of Université Laval.
