In this webinar, Dr. Jones Parker discusses his experience using miniscope microscopy to study regional dopamine dysfunction in brain disease and explore more comprehensive psychosis treatments.
In this webinar, I show how Inscopix miniscopes were used to image calcium activity in the striatum, a brain region where dopamine release is increased in schizophrenia, and where antipsychotic drugs exert their principal effects. These studies have redefined how we think about the role of dopamine in psychosis and the mechanistic basis of antipsychotic drug efficacy.
