Semester Schedule For Cognitive And Behavioral Neuroscience, Megan V. Caldwell Apr 2021

Semester Schedule For Cognitive And Behavioral Neuroscience, Megan V. Caldwell

Open Educational Resources

This course schedule has been created for an asynchronous 15-week, 4 credit Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience course. It is a comprehensive schedule including a week-by-week breakdown of lecture topics, reading material, assignments, and exam schedule. The course covers topics related to cognition and neuroscience including the action potential, neurotransmitters, cell gradients, sensation (vision, hearing, and pain/somatosensation), neuroplasticity, memory, and movement systems. The schedule is intended to be accompanied by a syllabus.

Carbon Dioxide Attracts Nesting Behavior In Captive African Naked Mole-Rats, Dan Mccloskey Feb 2020

Carbon Dioxide Attracts Nesting Behavior In Captive African Naked Mole-Rats, Dan Mccloskey

Publications and Research

This dataset contains raw Radio Frequency Identification data for a 185 hour gas infusion study conducted in the TT-2 colony at the College of Staten Island in May-June 2019. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether colony members would be attracted to a chamber with elevated carbon dioxide levels matching the highest values recorded in the typical colony nest. The results show a significant attraction to the CO2-infused chamber during and after the period of CO2 in=fusion, with the relocation of the colony nest to this site for the first time in the history of this colony. These …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of using a widely validated, web-based neurocognitive test battery (Cambridge Brain Sciences, CBS) in a cohort of critical illness survivors. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study in two intensive care units (ICUs) at two tertiary care hospitals. Twenty non-delirious ICU patients who were mechanically ventilated for a minimum of 24 hours underwent cognitive testing using …

Data Collection Curated With An Application Ontology Describes The Methods And Results Upon Performing An Ex-Vivo Voltage-Clamp Assay On Outer Hair Cells Of The Mammalian Cochlea, Brenda Farrell, Jason Bengtson Jan 2019

Data Collection Curated With An Application Ontology Describes The Methods And Results Upon Performing An Ex-Vivo Voltage-Clamp Assay On Outer Hair Cells Of The Mammalian Cochlea, Brenda Farrell, Jason Bengtson

Research Data

This data collection describes the electrical properties of outer hair cells isolated from the mammalian cochlea of the domestic guinea pig. This data was obtained by performing whole-cell patch clamp voltage clamp assay on cells and monitoring the electrical admittance during a DC voltage ramp. The membrane capacitance was then calculated at each membrane potential from this admittance, and the voltage-independent and voltage-dependent membrane capacitance was determined upon further analysis. In some case the DC conductance was also measured by interrogation of the cell with voltage-step function which was calculated from the change in the mean steady-state current with respect …

Calciumsignalextract: A Matlab Gui To Automatically Extract The Activity Of Multiple Cells From Calcium Imaging Data, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh Jan 2015

Calciumsignalextract: A Matlab Gui To Automatically Extract The Activity Of Multiple Cells From Calcium Imaging Data, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh

Gilbert Laboratory

A Matlab GUI that automatically segments fluorescence image stacks into ROIs based on differential morphology and fluorescence activity of the individual cells. The time course data of each ROI gets extracted and plotted. External data from behavioral experiments and sensory stimuli can be integrated to compare for task and stimulus dependent neuronal events

Meyer Navigator: User Scanimage Functions To Show X/Y Positions Of The Stage/Objective In A Coordinate System, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh Jan 2013

Meyer Navigator: User Scanimage Functions To Show X/Y Positions Of The Stage/Objective In A Coordinate System, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh

Gilbert Laboratory

These Matlab functions extend Janelia Farms' ScanImage microscope control software. The functions allow the user to view, mark and track positions of the motor stage/objective in x, y, and z, which get displayed in a separate window. This helps to keep track of the stage movements, regions of interest and makes it easy to document areas imaged and map out the specimen being investigated. For detailed information about the functionality as well as installation, view the included manual file.
