BIOC14H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Cre Recombinase, Neural Ensemble, Transgene
Document Summary
Looking at animal behavior to tell us something about how the brain works. Investigate certain features of behavior that are shared among the animals and humans in terms of how the brain responds to environmental conditions that leads to pathology in humans. Certain symptoms of disease that we would like to model in animals. So in delta d . the top left neurons were killed to see the. Have broad classes of odor receptors given by different colors. The functions of these receptors were unknown. Knock-in mouse was created and the cre line was used. Slide 4 genes in animal models we are talking about in class. Modeling particular abnormal human behaviors in animals by manipulating. Responsible for in article (cid:884) focus until end of section 2 and the approaches. We understand that studying individual genes isn"t sufficient to understand. We have to get in between genes and behaviors. This is done by targeting specific neurons.
