Abstract:Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry along with its background subtraction method has been widely used for detecting neurotransmitters in the brain. The most common application of FSCV is measuring phasic changes of dopamine (DA) in the brain evoked by an external stimulus. The background subtraction method has greatly improved FSCV’s application to the neuroscience field. However, tonic dopamine concentration, which is as vital as phasic change, cannot be measured even though the background is subtracted. In this stu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
