Ethanol-induced Sedative Behavior: An Assay to Investigate Increased Dopamine Signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans

Authors: Anuradha Singh, Kavita Babu and Pratima Pandey, date: 07/05/2021, view: 638, Q&A: 0

Dopamine (DA) signaling affects locomotion, feeding, learning, and memory in C. elegans. Various assays have been developed to study the proteins involved in these behaviors; however, these assays show behavioral output only when there is a drastic

Enriched Environment Procedures for Rodents: Creating a Standardized Protocol for Diverse Enrichment to Improve Consistency across Research Studies

Authors: Bruce C. Harland and John C. Dalrymple-Alford, date: 06/05/2020, view: 1464, Q&A: 0

Exposure to environmental enrichment has beneficial effects on learning and memory, diverse neurobiological effects, and promotes recovery of function after brain injury. The effect of enrichment is produced by a combination of increased social ...
