This protocol was designed to test the activation and pursuit of cognitive goals (e.g., an abstract thinking goal) using the task interruption and resumption paradigm. The protocol is suitable for cognitive goals that are automatically pursued once activated, as the distraction procedure prevents goal pursuit during the interruption period.
This protocol analyzes navigational behavior of Drosophila larva in response to simultaneous optogenetic stimulation of its olfactory neurons. Light of 630 nm wavelength is used to activate individual olfactory neurons expressing a red-shifted channel rhodopsin. Larval movement is simultaneously tracked, digitally recorded, and analyzed using custom-written software.
Here we present a protocol to image calcium signaling in populations of individual cell types at the murine neuromuscular junction.
Bifidobacteria possess a unique genomic capability for N-glycan cleavage. Recombinantly producing these enzymes would be a promising novel tool to release bioactive N-glycans from glycoprotein-rich substrates such as colostrum.
Here, we describe the production and characterization of bioactive agents containing nanodisks. Amphotericin B nanodisks are taken as an example to describe the protocol in a stepwise manner.
