A Rodent Animal Model for Forelimb to Lower Jaw Reorganization in Primary Somatosensory Cortex (SI) Barrel Field
… hand-to-face remapping. We sought to develop a rodent model of deafferentation; our model system is the rat SI cortex barrel field present at the cortical layer IV, where neural cell clusters, called barrels, represent localized regions of the skin surface. The forepaw barrel subfield (FBS), …

Rodent testing device surrogate for shockwave blast testing
… are conduct shockwave blast injury tests on rodents to simulate blast traumatic brain injury (TBI). Each of these laboratories has different techniques for creating the shockwave blasts as well as positioning the rats. There is no device to determine whether or not the rodent animal models …

Dendritic biophysics and evolution
… been limited to ex vivo preparations from rodent animal models, providing little insight for computation in the awake human brain. In this thesis, we overcome these limitations to provide new insights on biophysics at the intersection of dendritic morphology and evolution. In chapter 1, we …

Effects of Ca2+, microRNAs, and rosuvastatin on insulin-secreting beta cell function
… purpose, pancreatic rat INS-1 832/13 beta cells, rodent animal models, and islets from human cadaver donors has been used. Whole-cell patch clamp was used to study exocytosis measured as changes in cell membrane capacitance. In beta cells, biphasic exocytotic pattern was previously mainly …

Quantitative estimates of mechanical properties from in vivo tumors of rodent animals
… to image shear waves generated in spontaneous rodent mammary tumors to estimate the complex shear modulus under realistic conditions, and to assess the sensitivity for relating matrix viscoelasticity to tumor type and stage. Cylindrical, harmonic shear waves generated by a vibrating needle …
