The Protoperithecia Assay quantifies photoperiodic responses in Neurospora crassa by measuring protoperithecia formation under defined light&#8211;dark cycles. This plate-based method provides a simple and scalable approach for comparing photoperiod-dependent developmental responses across experimental conditions.

Plate-Based Imaging Assay for Quantifying Photoperiodic Responses in Neurospora crassa Using Protoperithecia Development

Neurospora crassa is a well-established model organism for studying biological timing and light-regulated development. The Protoperithecia Assay (PPA) is ...

The Y-maze barrier task is a behavior test that examines motivation to expend effort for reward. Here, we discuss testing multiple well-validated chronic stressors including chronic corticosterone and social defeat stress with this behavior, as well as the novel chronic non-discriminatory social defeat stress (CNSDS), which is effective in females.

Chronic Stress Shifts Effort-Related Choice Behavior in a Y-Maze Barrier Task in Mice

Mood disorders, including major depressive disorder, can be precipitated by chronic stress. The Y-maze barrier task is an effort-related choice test that ...

Here, we present a stepwise protocol to investigate the mitochondrial respiration and glycolytic function in Candida Albicans using an extra flux analyzer.
