To stimulate stem cell behavior and obtain maximum functional recovery, researchers have paid great effort to elucidate the function of stem cell microenvironments.
Because changing the light's color couldn't indicate whether the tadpoles' transplanted eyes were functional, the researchers turned to a more sophisticated experiment.
In order to investigate complex brain processing mechanisms at a functional level, researchers need to use optogenetics to detect the activity from specific neural circuits during the manipulation of target neuron populations.
In the context of functional analyses, researchers using model organisms should consider that Hsp70 subfamilies, which constitute conserved functional units, experience complex evolutionary dynamics, often in a taxon-specific manner.
Through the combination of genetic silencing experiments, connectomic analysis, and functional recordings, researchers have identified many individual neurons in the fly brain that contribute to visual motion processing (Silies et al., 2014).
Through focusing on individual genes as the functional unit, researchers are able to study and generate hypotheses on the biological impact of different structural variations, for instance, the deletion of dosage-sensitive genes or the formation of fusion genes.
In one study examining the impact of multiple chemical exposures on functional abilities, researchers found that Mexican children (n=50) who had been exposed to multiple pesticides in pregnancy and childhood had less stamina, poorer eye-hand coordination, poorer memory and were less skilled in drawing figures compared to their less exposed counter-parts [ 12].
The functional cognitive framework for psychological research implies that functional and cognitive researchers operate at two separate but mutually supportive levels of explanation.
Functional medicine provider, researcher, teacher, and author.
In attempts to understand the nature of functional gastrointestinal disorders researchers have focused on the functioning of the enteric nervous system (ENS).
