When Dr. Steven Laviolette first contacted TDT he had just moved to the University Of Western Ontario In London and was setting up a new lab for his research on addictive behaviors in humans and animals. After contacting TDT and several other manufacturers, Dr. Laviolette quickly came to the conclusion that System 3’s unique combination of flexibility, configurability, and elegant engineering was the best long term solution for his lab.
Dr. Laviolette has found that our professionally manufactured probes provide more consistency without sacrificing the ability to customize. Each of his arrays is custom configured to follow the contours of the nucleus he is targeting and uses a reference wire very close to the recording site which minimizes the biological noise of muscle activity in his recordings.
Dr. Laviolette has now expanded his research and lab to include awake, behaving experiments and video tracking and his use of standard condition paradigms along with protocols for looking at neural circuits has generated groundbreaking papers on the neurobiology of addiction and the role of Dopamine and GABA in addictive behaviors. As his research evolves we continue to work with him to support the complex behavioral and neurophysiological paradigms necessary for his ongoing research.
