07 Aug MouseBytes: An Open-access and Web-based Repository for Cognitive Data Integration and Sharing
MouseBytes-an open access and user friendly cognitive repository (mousebytes.ca)- employed advanced web technologies and connected to a database/repository of cognitive data obtained using touchscreen technology allowing its use without any software installation.Not only can users deposit their original data into MouseBytes, but they are also...
12 Jul Optimization of a touchscreen spontaneous object recognition task for optogenetics in mice
Canadian Association for Neuroscience 2019 poster Reichelt, Palmer, Shaikh, Bussey and Saksida...
28 Jun Mouse Attentional Performance on a Touchscreen Continuous Performance Task is Dependent on Signaling in the Prelimbic Cortex
Presented at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience (CAN) meeting in Toronto, Ontario. 2019. Abstract: Attention is the cognitive processing that facilitates the ability to target and attend to relevant environmental stimuli, while filtering out irrelevant or distracting stimuli. Control over selective attention is theorized to be dependent...
06 Jun Integration of high-throughput touchscreen tasks and an open access database to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases
Presented at the Canadian Neuroscience Association (CAN) in Toronto, Ontario, 2019. Abstract Integration of high-throughput touchscreen tasks and an open access database to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases Flavio H. Beraldo1,2,3,4, Daniel Palmer1,5, Sara Memar1,2, David I. Wasserman1,2,5, Roseane Franco1, Keon Coleman2,3, Shuai iang6,...
26 May Executive dysfunction in an APP knock-in mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease revealed using touchscreen technology
Presented at the Canadian Neuroscience Association (CAN) in Toronto, Ontario, 2019. Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease pathology is characterized by the accumulation and aggregation of amyloid peptides in extracellular plaques. How plaque accumulation in relevant brain areas affects cognition is still not fully understood, because most mouse models...
08 Jan Neurogenesis in the Adult Hippocampus and Its Role in Mood
Poster presented at the 2018 Physiology and Pharmacology Research Day at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. The poster won best presentation in the neuroscience category. Abstract: Depression is a complex disorder, with variable symptom profiles and variable response to antidepressant treatment. These variabilities have...
07 Jan Touchscreen Evalution of Executive Functioning in Mice
Presented at the Southern Ontario Neuroscience Association (SONA) 2018 meeting in Guelph, Ontario. Also presented at the London Health Research Day 2018 in London, Ontario. Abstract: Executive functions encompass an assortment of mental processes that collectively enable individuals to organize, plan, and execute goal-directed behaviors. Control over...
07 Jan Prelimbic Cortex Inactivation Impairs Mouse Performance on a Novel Touchscreen Continous Performance Task
Presented at the Physiology and Pharmacology Research Day 2018 at Western University in London, Ontario. Abstract: Attention is information processing that facilitates the ability to continuously attend to relevant environmental stimuli, while ignoring irrelevant or distracting stimuli. Control over selective attention is a central component of executing...
