Keeping in contact with emergency departments and providing decision support to the ambulance commander are less visible tasks.
fMRI scanners also allow Raichle and other researchers to study the brain's "dark energy"—baseline activities that are unrelated to external stimuli or the performance of overtly visible tasks, yet consume the vast majority of the brain's energy.
All job dimensions are, moreover, underpinned by the critical, but less visible, tasks of managing with and through others, and in a complex system, which themselves require management of self.
Morris water maze, a sensitive test for hippocampus-dependent learning/memory processes [ 27], yielded comparable performance of TG and WT in the visible platform task (data not shown).
In the visible platform task, one-way ANOVA did not show any difference in escape latency between groups in visual acuity (F = 0.89, P > 0.05).
Additionally, MW150 treatment did not influence the visible platform task, which assesses sensory, motor, and motivational mechanisms, and did not influence open field tests, which assess locomotor activity and anxiety.
In the visible platform task, 5XFAD transgenic mice aged 3.5 or 4.5 months showed a similar ability to find the platform as their corresponding wild-type controls (Fig. 1A).
A cued (visible) platform task, where mice learn to find the platform with a visible cue (such as a flag), is usually carried out as a control experiment to rule out factors that might affect results for reasons not involving visuospatial integration.
Both groups of lesioned rats presented a deficit in the non-visible platform task but not in the visible platform one.
