DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.08688.047 To further examine the sufficiency of Or7a neuron activation in guiding oviposition-site preference behaviors we utilized an optogenetics approach to specifically activate Or7a neurons with red light confined to one of the egg-laying wells.
To assess whether our predictions of hierarchical control could be extended to a different application of EGF-induced cell motility behavior, we utilized the MDA-MB-231 invasive human breast cancer cell lines and measured their migratory response across a range of MLC kinase (and hence MLC) inhibition.
Finally, to begin to ask how individual neuromodulatory neurons might function within social behavior networks, we utilized a high-resolution 3D mapping approach and examined the arborization patterns of each of the three FruM/OA neurons projected onto a 'standard' adult male brain.
Here, we utilize a behavior analysis paradigm established by Berman et al. (2014).
Rather than target their deficits and problematic behaviors, ChalleNGe utilized a PYD approach to "reclaim the lives of at-risk youth" and 3 years later the evidence remains in the employment and education outcomes discussed here.
To study the effect of A. tumefaciens infiltration on plastid behavior and morphology we utilized transgenic N. benthamiana lines constitutively expressing the chimeric protein FNR-EGFP, which highlights the plastid stroma and stromules [ 15, 16].
Some previous investigations have circumvented the need to control for group behavior by utilizing a shoaling assay to measure preference for social affiliation [1], [8] [15].
Monitoring winter activity is essential for describing the behavior of species utilizing a complex wintering strategy consisting of alternating periods of physical activity and passivity.
In this paper we explore the effects of social influence on travel behavior and utilize an instrumental variables approach to address the potential endogeneity related to similarities in the choice environments of socially connected individuals.
To evaluate our proposed model, we conducted two behavior-learning experiments utilizing a humanoid robot; the experiments consisted of object manipulation and bell-ringing tasks.
