Apparatus for studying behavior and learning in restrained rats.
A new treadmill/stand apparatus for a rat is described. It will be useful in behavioral experiments when control of the animal's position in the training chamber is required while considerable freedom of movement, including locomotion, is desired. The position and distance relative to sources of stimuli are thus kept constant. The speed and the distance of ambulation are easily monitored. The r...
متن کاملA new method for studying working memory by using the three-panel runway apparatus in rats.
We designed a new method for studying working memory, by using a repeated acquisition procedure in the three-panel runway apparatus. This apparatus is composed of a start box, a goal box and four consecutive choice points; each choice point consists of three panel gates. Male Wistar rats were trained with 6 consecutive trials (one session) per day. Each trial was performed every two minutes. In...
متن کاملStudying thermal effects of laser on tissue using implicit finite volume method
In this paper, thermal effects of laser irradiance on biological tissue is investigated using computer simulations. Earlier attempts in this field made use of finite difference and finite element techniques. Here a novel approach is adopted to improve the results. The effect of our implicit approach on the convergence procedure and accuracy of results, with different timing steps, is explor...
متن کاملCellular pressure and volume regulation and implications for cell mechanics.
In eukaryotic cells, small changes in cell volume can serve as important signals for cell proliferation, death, and migration. Volume and shape regulation also directly impacts the mechanics of cells and tissues. Here, we develop a mathematical model of cellular volume and pressure regulation, incorporating essential elements such as water permeation, mechanosensitive channels, active ion pumps...
متن کاملAn apparatus for studying scintillator properties at high isostatic pressures.
We describe the design and operation of a unique hydraulic press for the study of scintillator materials under isostatic pressure. This press, capable of developing a pressure of a gigapascal, consists of a large sample chamber pressurized by a two-stage hydraulic amplifier. The optical detection of the scintillation light emitted by the sample is performed, through a large aperture optical por...
