Fluorescent lipophilic dyes, such as DiI, stain cellular membranes and are used extensively
for retrograde/anterograde labeling of neurons as well as for marking the position of …

Electrophysiology and optical imaging provide complementary neural sensing capabilities–
electrophysiological recordings have high temporal resolution, while optical imaging allows …

Recent technological development requires new approaches to address the problem of
blindness. Such approaches need to be able to ensure that no cells with photosensitive …

Background Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a common animal model
of multiple sclerosis (MS). C57BL/6 mice immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte …

The transcription factors CREB (cAMP response element binding factor), SRF (serum
response factor), and MEF2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2) play critical roles in the …

Repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS) is an increasingly popular method to non-
invasively modulate cortical excitability in research and clinical settings. During rTMS, low …

Abstract Purpose Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are used to assess visual function in
preclinical models of neurodegenerative diseases. VEP recording with epidural screw …

In neuroscience, stereotactic brain surgery is a standard yet challenging technique for which
laboratory and veterinary personnel must be sufficiently and properly trained. There is …

Increasing evidence indicates that static magnetic fields (SMF) reduce cortical activity in both
human and animal models. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of SMF on …

Sodium iodate (NaIO3) has been shown to cause severe oxidative stress damage to retinal
pigment epithelium cells. This results in the indirect death of photoreceptors, leading to a …
