Dual-Wavelength Commutator Based Photometry System - Plexon Multi-Fiber Photometry and the multi-wavelength photometry system builds on the technology of the legacy single wavelength photometry system.

Performance-Driven System Highlights:

πŸ“Ή Record from multiple locations in a single animal

βœ… Detect fluorescence at 525 nm using one detection camera

πŸ“ˆ Align photometry signals with behavioral events using digital inputs

The authors introduce a T-maze apparatus designed for pigs to assess spatial working memory capacities. Results show that pigs quickly learned the task and performed above chance levels, indicating its potential as a tool for studying neurological and psychiatric diseases in pigs.

A publication from @AllenNeuroLab et al., at @FIU discusses the underutilization of pigs in behavioral neuroscience despite their potential as a translational model. Pigs offer advantages such as similarities to humans in brain anatomy and physiology. bit.ly/4bDP3NB
