Nonlinear dynamics analysis, in turn, aims at measuring the cortical complexity of the brain by quantifying the complexity or "chaos" in EEG temporal patterns.
We assessed cell proliferation by quantifying the colony-forming efficiency (CFE) of normal brain cells growing in culture plates.
Spastin levels from 4-month-old Sp+/+, Sp Δ/+ and Sp Δ/Δ mouse brain extracts were estimated by quantifying the immunoblot band density normalized to actin values (ImageJ software, NIH, Bethesda, MD) in three independent experiments.
We further confirmed the γ-tubulin result by quantifying the centrosomal levels of γ-tubulin-GFP (Hallen et al., 2008) in living WT and mutant brain cells.
In addition, by quantifying transcript from whole brain tissue, we avoid potential artifacts and inaccuracies that can result from the method of counting immunopositive cells (e.g., different numbers are obtained depending on whether whole brain or slices are used).
We also examined how PBDE-47 affected key target tissues for THs by quantifying transcripts for the autoinduced TRα and TR β genes in the brain and liver, and by quantifying brain mRNA for basic transcription element-binding protein (BTEB), a TH-responsive transcription factor that regulates neural differentiation (Cayrou et al. 2002; Denver et al. 1999).
Quantifying the spatial distribution of human brain activity during BS modification induced by natural and spontaneous body motion.
The integrity of BBB was estimated by quantifying mouse serum albumin in brain homogenates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as previously reported [ 34].
Finally, because the actions of LPS on behaviour are mediated by the brain, we assessed the effect of LPS on neuronal activity in DIO mice by quantifying Fos protein expression in key brain regions.
U.S. companies are increasingly interested in quantifying the business benefits generated by being socially responsible.
