(v)NINDS Developmental Neurobiology Section (DNS) researches development and operation of circuits in the spinal cord. DNS focuses on studying the role of motoneurons in the operation of locomotor networks and the mechanisms responsible for the excitatory effects of motoneurons within the spinal cord. Investigators examine calcium and voltage-sensitive dye imaging to visualize the spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity associated with rhythmic locomotor-like bursting. Furthermore, DNS uses optogenetics to examine the role of motoneurons and other neuronal classes in locomotor rhythmogenesis and pattern formation. DNS is conducting experiments with an existing TCS SP5 microscope system. TCS SP5 microscope system upgrade is required for electrophysiological recordings and detailed morphological depiction of spinal neuronal networks.. The purpose of this acquisition is to upgrade the DNS's existing TCS SP5 microscope system to enable signal detection and combine optical and electrophysiological recordings together with optogenetics manipulation.. The Contractor shall provide the NINDS DNS with one (1) upgrade of a Leica TCS SP5 microscope system as follows: QuantityItem NumberDescription 1156509345Channel Upgrade 4ch-5ch 1156501493Adaptor Kit HyD for Basic Module 156 1158001493HyD GaAsP detector upgrade gateable 1158004291Quad Module for DM6 CFS/DM6 (vii)Delivery is to be made within 90 days after receipt of award.
