Sentence examples for dopamine feeding from inspiring English sources

The dopamine feeding assay was done with some modification, as described previously (Wakabayashi-Ito et al., 2011).

To test both dopamine receptors in memory consolidation paradigm, we tested DopR1 and DopR2 mutants for courtship suppression after being trained for short-term memory in combination with dopamine feeding.

Memory-consolidation assay by dopamine feeding was performed as follows.

Amphetamine is a potent stimulant that hijacks the brain's reward system by upping the dopamine fed into synapses, increasing energy and alertness.

While dopamine is essential for feeding, excess dopamine (as, for example, induced pharmacologically by AM251 in our study) inhibits feeding.

Lavista-Llanos et al. also discovered that feeding dopamine to vulnerable Drosophila species helps them to cope with the toxic effects of a morinda diet.

Although little is known about the role of SCG2 peptides, they have been associated with various processes including reproduction, dopamine release, and feeding.

We recently isolated dtorsin-null mutants and showed that hemizygous mutant third instar male larvae exhibited locomotion defects that were rescued by feeding dopamine (Wakabayashi-Ito et al., 2011).

Although feeding dopamine could partially rescue the locomotion defect in our assay in dtorsin-null larvae (Wakabayashi-Ito et al., 2011) or in DtorsinΔE (or human torsinAΔE -expressing larvae (Fig. 4C), very few larvae of dtorsinAΔE -expressingAΔE-expressing animalarvaevived until the late third instar larval stage (data not shown).

During a study of the role of dopamine in Drosophila feeding behavior, we observed that many homozygous, but not heterozygous, Ddc-GAL4 flies could not survive on 4% sucrose-only diet for more than 3 d, whereas most wild-type flies could survive for more than 10 d.

We starved naive males for 16 hr, trained them for 1 hr with mated female, and then activated dopamine pathways globally by feeding the animals with dopamine for 23 hr (Riemensperger et al., 2011).
