Objective
We aim to develop a graphical distributed software package which will allow neurophysiologists to have at hand a set of network and graphical tools in order to perform the analysis of data collected from electrical activity of neurons, studied in the experimental laboratory. The combined scientific and software know-how existing in the NIS and INTAS laboratories of the project participants is necessary for this development. The developed software will be applied for analysis of neurophysiological data recorded in the prefrontal cortex and the midbrain raphe nucleus of freely moving rats before, during and after drug administration. This will provide new information on the physiological mechanisms underlying the activity of 5-HT neurons and their interactions with prefrontal cortex and will assist in developing new experimental paradigms for the screening of potential neuroactive compounds for treatment of major psychiatric disorders.
