In nature, butterflies and moths often flash open their wings to reveal their eyespots, "and no one has done an experiment yet doing these kind of manipulations with a startle display," he says.
Two groups, control (n = 8, age = 7.2 ± 0.6 years) and experimental (n = 8, age 7.4 ± 0.4 years), underwent practice using constraints-based manipulations, with a specific field of affordances designed for backhand strokes as the experimental treatment.
To dissect the interplay of pathways involved in neurodegeneration from those involved in aging, we combined genetic manipulations with a novel assay that utilizes growth-arrested animals.
We are interested in developing rodent models in order to explore epidemiological findings linking prenatal manipulations with a range of adverse health outcomes in offspring.
The vast genetic information as well as introduction of new bacterial strains to industrial usage require the suitable tools for rapid genetic manipulations with a wide variety of bacterial species.
By repeating such manipulations with a large collection of drivers, each specific for a different set of neurons, one can in principle discover cell types required for a particular behavior.
