During the training phase, a mouse was placed in a conditioning chamber, allowed to explore the testing chamber for 2 minutes before the onset of a discrete conditioned stimulus (CS) in the form of a tone (30 s, 2800 Hz, 80 dB).
Various anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), based on 10 mol% Dy-doped La2Mo2O9 (LDM) electrolyte, are prepared analytically and operated under single chamber conditions to explore the connections between electrode and power performance.
In context fear conditioning, mice are placed in a training chamber, allowed to explore and subsequently given a mild foot shock.
The animals were placed in a chamber, allowed to explore for 2 min, and subjected to a 1-sec, 0.5 mA subthreshold footshock.
The purpose of the visit was to map a couple of chambers & to explore some of the underground regions not yet investigated.
The paradigm consisted of a three-stage procedure: Stage 1: habituation: in the initial stage, the test mouse was first placed in the centre chamber and allowed to explore all three chambers of the apparatus for 5 min. It was then replaced in the centre chamber for a further 5 min with access to the left and right chambers denied by Plexiglasss doors.
All other parameters and measures were as described above for Stage 2. Stage 1: habituation: in the initial stage, the test mouse was first placed in the centre chamber and allowed to explore all three chambers of the apparatus for 5 min. It was then replaced in the centre chamber for a further 5 min with access to the left and right chambers denied by Plexiglasss doors.
During the habituation phase, the test mouse is placed in the middle chamber and allowed to explore the three chambers under video tracking for 10 min, with each of the two side chambers containing an empty wire cage.
