New technologies, such as fiber photometry, can overcome long-standing methodological limitations and promote a better understanding of neuronal mechanisms. This study, for the first time, aimed at employing the newly available dopamine indicator (GRABDA2m) in combination with this novel imaging technique. Here, we present a detailed methodological roadmap leading to longitudinal repetitive transmitter release monitoring in in vivo freely moving animals and provide proof-of-concept data. This novel approach enables a fresh look at dopamine release patterns in the nucleus accumbens, following the medial forebrain bundle (mfb) DBS in a rodent model. Our results suggest reliable readouts of dopamine levels over at least 14 days of DBS-induced photometric measurements. We show that mfb-DBS can elicit an increased dopamine response during stimulation (5 s and 20 s DBS) compared to its baseline dopamine activity state, reaching its maximum peak amplitude in about 1 s and then recovering back after stimulation. The effect of different DBS pulse widths (PWs) also suggests a potential differential effect on this neurotransmitter response, but future studies would need to verify this. Using the described approach, we aim to gain insights into the differences between pathological and healthy models and to elucidate more exhaustively the mechanisms under which DBS exerts its therapeutic action. |
