Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a neuron-specific cytoskeletal protein, enriched in dendrites and cell bodies, that helps determine dendritic shape. MAP2 regulates microtubule stability in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. The present study used immunocytochemistry with phosphoepitope-specific and phosphorylation state-independent antibodies to examine experience-dependent changes ...

Gamma frequency (30-70 Hz) synchronized oscillatory activity in the olfactory bulb is widely believed to be important for odor detection and discrimination. As in other circuits with "gamma activity," the activity in the bulb is driven by GABAergic interneurons, specifically a class of axonless cells called granule cells. However, bulb granule cells appear to lack some key mechanistic features ...

The vulnerability of animal production to Thermal Humidity Index (THI) has hardly been documented in India and hence one study on climate weather the conception rate cattle was conducted at Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. In study, meteorological data (2000 2010) were collected from agrometeorological Observatory, Pantnagar used compute six different types by giving weightage dry bulb temperature humid...

Conventional intravital microscopy has generally been limited to superficial brain areas such as the olfactory bulb, the neocortex, or the cerebellar cortex. In vivo optical microendoscopy uses gradient refractive index (GRIN) microlenses that can be inserted into tissue to image cells in deeper areas. This protocol describes in vivo microendoscopy of the mouse hippocampus. The general methodol...

We present a scheme for constructing various Conley indices for locally defined maps. In particular, we extend the shape index of Robbin and Salamon to the case of a locally defined map in a locally compact Hausdorff space. We compare the shape index with the cohomological Conley index for maps. We also prove the commutativity property of the Conley index, which is analogous to the commutativit...

effect of different amounts of sulfur fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) and 200 kg/ha of thiobacillus inoculant on yield, quality and storability of two edible onion cultivars red rey and white qom were investigated. the experiments were conducted at experimental field and laboratories of the department of horticulture, seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran in 2007-08 cro...

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a spice crop and valuable economic cultivated in variety of environments around the world. Because its export demand, it extremely important terms foreign exchange. Drought stress, waterlogging heat cold salinity stress all have an impact on onion growth, production, yield different ways. A lack water causes low productivity, therefore to increase yield, constant suppl...
