Olfactory tubercle (OT) aka tuberculum olfactorium
TheĀ olfactory tubercleĀ (OT), also known as theĀ tuberculum olfactorium, is aĀ multi-sensory processingĀ center that is contained within theĀ olfactory cortexĀ andĀ ventral striatumĀ and plays a role inĀ reward cognition. The OT has also been shown to play a role inĀ locomotorĀ andĀ attentionalĀ be
Studies on the nutritional basis of abnormal behavior in albino rats; the effect of pyridoxine deficiency upon sound-induced magnesium tetany (1945)
After a magnesium deficient diet for 5 to 8 days, young rats showed vasodilatation, hyperirritability, and latent tetany. Brief exposures to the sound of a resonated buzzer elicited severe tonic-clonic convulsions. When such a diet was continued for 10 to 23 days, sensitivity increased with death re
Buzz Pollination or Sonication
Buzz pollination or sonication is a technique used by some bees, such as solitary bees to release pollen which is more or less firmly held by the anthers. The anthers of buzz-pollinated plant species are typically tubular, with an opening at only one end, and
Sonication
SonicationĀ is the act of applying sound energy to agitate particles in a sample, for various purposes such as the extraction of multiple compounds from plants, microalgae and seaweeds. UltrasonicĀ frequencies (>Ā 20Ā kHz) are usually used, leading to the process also being known asĀ ultrasonication
What is Immunoprecipitation (IP)?
Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a technique used to enrich protein antigens from a complex mixture using specific antibodies. To carry out an IP, antibodies must be coupled to a solid substrate, such as agarose resin or magnetic beads, to allow for purification of the target antigens. Immunoprecipitatio
