General interests

The NeuroNex MINT Hub is tasked with developing several technology platforms for dissemination to the neuroscience community.
Which technology platforms are you most interested in learning about?

Optoelectrodes Carbon fiber electrodes Brainbow or XFP labeling Label tracing Nanofractal electrode coatings Tissue clearing Systematic AAVs
Are you interested in learning more about the annual MINT Training Workshop?

Yes No
What animal model are you most interested in?

Rodent NHP Insect
Optoelectrodes
Do you currently use optical stimulation and electrical recording simultaneously?

Yes, usually Yes, sometimes No, would like to No, not needed
Do you stimulate and record in the same brain region, i.e. circuit?

Yes No, would like to No, not needed
What are the problems with your current neural probes?

Low density Expensive Wrong/one color
Which optoelectrode approach is more useful for your research?

High-density micro-LEDs (blue) Two color waveguide (blue and red)
Carbon Wire Arrays
Carbon wires have several benefits derived from its material and size. Which of these impact your research? (choose as many as apply)

Long-term, stable unit recording Chemical sensing High density
What species are you most interested in detecting using carbon?

Dopamine Norepinephrine
Nanofractal Electrode Coatings
Nanofractal coatings have several benefits. Your interest(s) include?

Long-term stable unit recording Electrical stimulation
What challenges in current coating technologies concern you the most?

Coating stability Time and resources require for coating Poor characterization Limited charge delivery
Brainbow or XFP Labeling
Have you used Brainbow or other labeling techniques in the past?

Yes No
What challenges in current labeling approaches concern you the most?

Labeling density Poor contrast at high magnification Time and resource intensive
Label Tracing
Have you used tracing software in the past?

Yes No
If yes, what software?
Name of tracing software
Dawen Cai's lab at the University of Michigan is distributing a software package called nTracer. Would you like to be contacted about being a beta user?

Yes No
Tissue Clearing
Have you tried tissue clearing in the past?

Yes No
Please select what approach was tried:

Clarity 3DISCO Sca/eA2
What challenges with current clearing techniques concern you the most?

Slow clearing process Poor uniformity Fluorescence preservation
Are you interested in whole brain clearing or whole body?

Whole brain Whole body No, small tissue blocks are fine
Do you need RNA detection in cleared tissues?

Yes No
Systematic AAVs
What application(s) are you most interested in?

Morphological mapping Optogenetics Chemogenetics Calcium imaging
Select the capsin(s) of interest:

AAV-PHP.S for periphery AAV-PHP.eB for brain
