It’s Neuroscience Time! [nggallery id=4 template=carousel images=8 w=450 h=400] Are you in DC this week for the 2011 Society for Neuroscience Annual Convention? Great! Stop by and see us at booth #2400 and take a look at our line of products including: A live demonstration of our NIR Radial Arm Maze. A sneak peak or…
Jones is part of a collaborative effort between Dr. Michael Ehlers (CSO Pfizer Neuroscience) and Dr. Mark Schnitzer, Principal Investigator in the Schnitzer Group at Stanford University, using miniaturized in vivo microendoscopes to image neuronal activity during behavior. This exciting research is currently working towards bringing this advanced imaging capability from the lab and into…
Med Associates would like to extend our congratulations to Dr. Adrienne J. Betz, PhD has on her new position as Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. Have you or a colleague reached a milestone in your career? Let us help spread the good news! Simply contact…
Robert is moving to NYU from the University of California at San Francisco to begin work on how forms of sensory experience and conditioning modify neural circuits with a focus on the auditory cortex. They hope to learn how these changes to synapses and neural networks affect perception and behavior. Robert described their research as…
The Wiltgen Lab at the University of Virginia was recently awarded grants from both the Whitehall Foundation and Alzheimer’s Association. The Alzheimer’s Association grant was awarded as part of the associations 2011 New Investigator Research Grant awards for the labs submission “The Role of Synaptic Plasticity in the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease“. This exciting research…
Gerald “Jerry” Audet, a former intern at Med Associates and our sister company, Catamount Research and Development, has published his first scientific paper “Expression of angiogenic regulators and skeletal muscle capillarity in selectively bred high aerobic capacity mice.” in the journal “Experimental Physiology”. This study focused on the selective breeding of mice for high voluntary…
Entitled “Habituation and Prepulse Inhibition of Acoustic Startle in Rodents” this JOVE video describes a method for assessing short-term habituation, long-term habituation, and prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle responses in rodents and was featured in our Fall 2011 issue of MedLines. Med Associates is proud to have the opportunity to sponsor this informative video journal…
Congrats to John Paul Christianson on his grant from the National Institutes of Mental Health. A postdoc in Steven Maier’s lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, John Paul is studying Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Congratulation John Paul and we look forward to following your research! Have you or a colleague reached a milestone in your career? Let…
Med Associates customer, Steven Maier just released his findings on the effects of exercise on memory and the brain. Published in the August issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, his lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder has found that compounds produced in the brain during physical exercise help to guard against memory loss. Read…
Entitled “Electrical Synapses Control Hippo-campal Contributions to Fear Learning and Memory”, this important paper examines how electrical synapses in the brain contribute to learning and memory. Their work, published this past January in Science, uses Med Associates Video Fear conditioning system to show how blocking the neuronal gap junctions within the dorsal hippo-campus can impair…
