Description
Base Notice:� Multi-photon Micrscopy System with 3D Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) Photostimulation Notice Type:������������� Sources Sought Posted Date: June 16, 2020 Classification Code: 66 Scientific Equipment and Services NAICS Code: 333314 Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing NOTICE INFORMATION Agency/Office: National Institutes of Health Location: National Institute on Drug Abuse Title: Multi-photon Micrscopy System with 3D Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) Photostimulation Description(s): The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the lead Federal Agency for research on mental illnesses.� The mission of the NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. The Unit on Functional Neural Circuits (UFNC) focuses specific circuits and neuronal types that enable internally-generated brain activity to interact with sensation, with emphasis on different types of cortical GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric acid) neurons. Our project aims to delineate the functional connectivity among related brain areas, to identify the behavioral relevance of these circuits, to understand the computations these circuits perform, and to uncover their developmental specificity and plasticity. One of the aims is identifying different cortical subnetworks during different behavioral conditions. Our study will greatly benefit from using a multiphoton microscope to image and manipulate specific populations of neurons using 3D spatial light modulator (SLM) photostimulation from awake animals. This will facilitate our research to achieve more comprehensive understanding of specific neural circuits and the relevant behavior. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase a Ultima 2P Plus multi-photon micrscopy system with 3D spatial light modulator (SLM) photostimulation �or �equal� multi-photon micrscopy system with 3D spatial light modulator (SLM) photostimulation.� The purchase is required �to identify functionally distinct cortical subnetworks during different behavioral conditions. The Unit on Functional Neural Circuits relies on a two-photon microscope system to monitor large population of neurons with high spatiotemporal resolution while manipulating specific population of neurons. The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that �equal� products must meet are specified in the purchase description.
