Sentence examples for assay memory from inspiring English sources

In the most widely used olfactory conditioning assay, memory is assessed after training by allowing flies to distribute between two arms of a T-maze: one arm perfused with a control odor and the other arm with an odor that had been previously associated with punishment or reward.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04580.019 In the first set of experiments we assayed memory 2 hr after training, using a set of 23 split-GAL4 lines to transiently block neuronal activity in different subsets of MBON cell types.

In our assays, memory performance is based on altered visual preference in walking flies, a task likely to be less demanding than the constant flight required for flight simulator learning.

In the probe test (Fig. 1B), which specifically assays memory, the wild-type mice and the wild-type mice fed fisetin both showed significant recall of the platform quadrant spending >25% of their time in this quadrant.

In this assay, several memory phases have been described.

Finally, there still remains a need to develop an effective DNMS-like task for rodents to complement the numerous studies using spontaneous exploration to assay recognition memory.

We asked if using the split-GAL4 lines to activate or inactivate neurons would perturb general innate behaviors, such as locomotion and visual perception that might interfere with our assays of memory, locomotion and sleep.

For all assays (training, memory test and olfactory acuity), odorants were diluted in mineral oil at a final concentration of 0.36 mM for octanol and 0.325 mM for methyl-cyclohexanol, and were delivered by 0.4 l/min airflow bubbled through odor-containing bottles.

"For all assays (training, memory test and olfactory acuity), odorants were diluted in mineral oil at a final concentration of 0.36 mM for octanol and 0.325 mM for methyl-cyclohexanol, and were delivered by a 0.4 L/min flow bubbling through odor-containing bottles".

These results show that both the conditioning assay and the memory retention test can be used successfully for these Nasonia species.

The ELISPOT assay to detect memory B cells was carried out similarly, except that splenocytes were stimulated to induce differentiation of memory B cells into ASC.
