Adhesion of tissue slice onto a glass substrate
|
| |
Hello, I am doing an extracellular recording from a mouse retina. I use planer metal electrodes on glass. However, the tissue when placed on glass and perfused, starts to float in the medium, whatever small the perfusion rate I keep. This is a big problem for me because for my recordings, I need to have tissue sticking properly on the glass..... more »

Benign (Cramp) Fasciculation Syndrome
|
| |
Hi Guys I have a recent diagnosis of BC-FS. There is very little information out there on it. So I decided to try to do a bit of research of my own. I have set up a net survey, just to try to get some demographics, see how disabled people are by the symptoms and find out what works for whom in terms of meds, self help, other interventions.... more »

Rv: LTP mouse in submerged chamber
|
| |
To members to Neur-sci, I am setting up the LTP in mouse hippocampal slices (350 microns) in a submerged chamber. I get the LTP after 30 min but I think I am still having problems with perfusion because I don't get the typical kinetics as you can see in the attachment. Some authors get good kinetics in mouse with 2-3ml/min as I got. Others use faster (5-6ml/min) ones, but sometimes it is not very easy to get an equilibrium between perfusion and stability.... more »

Maths student with much brain missing?
|
| |
Hello Neur-Sci members... I'm writing a book which involves, among other things, the brain/mind issue. Some 30 years ago I remember a report (possibly in the New Scientist) about a maths? student at the University of Birmingham, UK, who, as I recall, passed his exams, but then became unwell. An x-ray found that he had only a cortex, and very little or no other brain matter. I remember that the report contained what seems to have been the x-ray picture of a more or less empty head.... more »

Question from a student for the list
|
| |
I am an undergrad headed for graduate school to get my PhD. The question is what route I'm going to take. It is probable that I am going to end up going to graduate school overseas; my top programs, and indeed, most of the programs that actually do research in the area that I want to research, are located... more »
