Simultaneous Eye Tracking and Single-Neuron Recording to Identify Target-Selective Neurons04:25

Simultaneous Eye Tracking and Single-Neuron Recording to Identify Target-Selective Neurons

497
The video demonstrates an assay to identify target-selective neurons via simultaneous eye-tracking and single-neuron recordings. A human participant is tasked with identifying a target object among an array of objects in a display, and the eye movement is tracked. Simultaneously, single neurons' firing rate is recorded via electrodes implanted in the brain. The data from both recordings are correlated to assess the presence of target-selective...

Ethics in Target Audience Selection

669
Ethics in targeting audiences is a crucial aspect of marketing and business practices. It involves understanding and respecting the rights, interests, and dignity of consumers while conducting any promotional activities or communications. Unethical targeting can lead to exploitation, manipulation, or harm, particularly for vulnerable groups like children, older people, or those with low financial literacy.
Ethical targeting respects consumer privacy, avoids intrusive advertising, and ensures...

(2018) In this video, a two-photon laser ablation procedure is demonstrated, enabling the selective destruction of fluorescent neurons in agarose-immobilized zebrafish larvae. High-resolution imaging before and after the procedure confirms efficient neuronal damage, as observed by the absence...

In Vitro Selection of Engineered Transcriptional Repressors for Targeted Epigenetic Silencing

1.9K
Here, we present a protocol for the in vitro selection of engineered transcriptional repressors (ETRs) with high, long-term, stable, on-target silencing efficiency and low genome-wide, off-target activity. This workflow allows for reducing an initial, complex repertoire of candidate ETRs to a short list, suitable for further evaluation in therapeutically relevant...

Targeted Neuronal Injury for the Non-Invasive Disconnection of Brain Circuitry

5.5K
The goal of the protocol is to provide a method for producing non-invasive neuronal lesions in the brain. The method utilizes Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) to open the Blood Brain Barrier in a transient and focal manner, in order to deliver a circulating neurotoxin to the brain...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Animal Behavior
  • Sensory Systems

Background:

  • Visual processing presents computational challenges for animals, requiring selective attention to prioritize stimuli.
  • The Centrifugal Small Target Motion Detector 1 (CSTMD1) neuron in dragonflies exhibits selective attention.
  • Understanding selective attention mechanisms is crucial for visual neuroscience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neuronal mechanisms of selective attention in the dragonfly CSTMD1 neuron.
  • To apply frequency tagging to intracellular recordings for target identification.
  • To explore how CSTMD1 selects and tracks targets amidst distracters.

Main Methods:

  • In vivo electrophysiological recordings from CSTMD1 in male dragonflies (Hemicordulia tau).
  • Presentation of visual stimuli on an LCD monitor with modulated target intensities (frequency tagging).
  • Analysis of neuronal responses to identify selected target frequency and assess selection bias.

Main Results:

  • The CSTMD1 neuron's response preserves the frequency information of the selected target, ignoring distracters.
  • Selection can be biased by preceding targets on the same trajectory, even with lower contrast.
  • The neuron demonstrates a complex selection mechanism beyond a simple winner-takes-all model.

Conclusions:

  • Dragonflies provide an excellent model for studying the neuronal basis of selective attention.
  • Frequency tagging is a viable method for identifying target selection in single neurons.
  • CSTMD1 exhibits sophisticated target selection and tracking, offering insights into visual attention.
