Highly-rated Paper, "An Alternative Analysis of Computational Learning within Behavioral Neuropharmacology in an Experimental Anxiety Model Investigation", from researchers at Universidad de Guadalajara and Universidad Veracruzana, https://lnkd.in/gbQ_zb6Q #BehavioralNeuropharmacology #Anxiety Author List: Isidro Vargas-Moreno, Hector Gabriel Acosta Mesa, Juan Francisco Rodríguez-Landa, Martha Lorena Avendaño-Garrido, Rafael Fernández-Demeneghi, Socorro Herrera Abstract: Behavioral #neuropharmacology, a branch of #neuroscience, uses behavioral analysis to demonstrate treatment effects on animal models, which is fundamental for pre-clinical evaluation. Typically, this determination is univariate, neglecting the relevant associations for understanding treatment effects in animals and humans. This study implements regression trees and #Bayesian networks from a multivariate perspective by using variables obtained from behavioral tests to predict the time spent in the open arms of the elevated arm maze, a key variable to assess anxiety. Three doses of allopregnanolone were analyzed and compared to a vehicle group and a diazepam-positive control. Regression trees identified cut-off points between the anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects, with the anxiety index standing out as a robust predictor, combined with the percentage of open-arm entries and the number of entries. Bayesian networks facilitated the visualization and understanding of the interactions between multiple behavioral and biological variables, demonstrating that treatment with allopregnanolone (2 mg) emulates the effects of diazepam, validating the multivariate approach. The results highlight the relevance of integrating advanced methods, such as Bayesian networks, into preclinical research to enrich the interpretation of complex behavioral data in animal models, which can hardly be observed with univariate statistics.

Bethany Sharp is currently studying Biomedical Sciences at The University of Manchester and has a keen interest in neuroscience and pharmacology. Electrophysiological techniques are part of a specialist biological field she has not been previously exposed to, which is one of the contributing factors to her choosing Metrion Biosciences for her industrial placement year. In a recent article, Beth comments: "Assay design and optimisation are essential skills, applicable to every field of science. The adaptability I am learning is a great development opportunity, as assay refinement means you can obtain the most reliable data possible. Additionally, the values of Metrion underpin all of the work that is conducted and the way colleagues work together. Values such as quality and integrity enable the company to function efficiently as a collaborative team. These values are ingrained into the company ethos and create a welcoming environment, allowing for a great opportunity to gain experience as a student in a new area of research."

Hello everyone! I'm currently seeking research positions in computational neuroimaging analysis, brain connectomics, and radiomics, with a focus on brain tumors, neurodegenerative disorders, and stroke. Additionally, I have a strong interest in neurocriminology and am keen to explore opportunities in that field as well. For my Master's thesis, I applied graph theory to study EEG network dynamics and functional connectivity in Alzheimer's and Frontotemporal Dementia. I'm proficient in MATLAB and eager to learn new programming languages to enhance my skills in image processing. I am looking to connect with PIs and researchers who are working in this exciting field. #computationalneuroscience #radiomics #neurocriminology #research #neuroimaging #graphtheory #EEG

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined a dynamic research team as an undergraduate research assistant! Our cutting-edge research focuses on exploring how basal ganglia outputs interact with other brain regions to select, initiate, and execute motivated behavior in both health and disease. Our methodology is as diverse as it is advanced, incorporating: 🔬 Single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing 🧬 Advanced viral tracing 🤖 Machine learning for brain-wide circuit mapping and reconstruction 📊 Unsupervised behavioral clustering 💡 Cal-light tagging for specific cell-types and actions 🔄 Closed-loop optogenetic interventions 📸 Calcium imaging 📈 Neuropixels for recording We are particularly focused on finding new therapeutic approaches for diseases related to the basal ganglia, such as addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Parkinson’s Disease. I am incredibly excited to contribute to this groundbreaking work and look forward to sharing our discoveries with you all! #UndergraduateResearch #BrainHealth #MachineLearning #Neuropixels #CalciumImaging #RNASequencing
