To elucidate the complex transition from Local Field Potentials (LFPs) to spikes a suitable stimulator for light mechanical peripheral stimuli was built. As an application, the spiking activities recorded from somatosensory cortex were analyzed by a multi-objective optimization strategy. The results demonstrated that the proposed stimulator was able to deliver tactile stimuli with millisecond and millimeter precisions.

This paper describes a simple technique to induce alloantigen-specific anergy in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The technique can be applied clinically to generate non-alloreactive donor cells. Infusion of these cells could improve immune reconstitution and reduce toxicity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Barcode Enabled Sequencing of Tetrads (BEST) replaces the manual processes of isolating, disrupting and spacing tetrads. BEST isolates tetrads by fluorescence-activated cell sorting onto agar plates, separates the spores by agitation with glass beads, and determines which randomly arrayed colonies were derived from the same original tetrad using molecular barcodes.

The protocol describes how to measure the optomotor response in 13-lined ground squirrels, a cone-dominant species with retinal features resembling the human macula. The platform design enhances handling and reduces anxiety, improving the animal's ability to stay on the raised platform, enabling non-invasive assessment of changes in visual function.
FAQs
An operating command sent from a paired computer or mobile interface is received through Bluetooth and used to set or adjust stimulation parameters. The stimulator then translates those instructions into timed electrical pulses, which travel through electrodes to neural tissue or an experimental preparation. This signal chain links remote control with controlled delivery during a neuroscience experiment.
Setting or adjusting stimulation parameters gives the experimenter control over how the device delivers each programmed pulse sequence, while timed output supports consistent repetition across trials. In neuroscience, that consistency is useful when examining neural excitability, circuit function, or neuromodulation, because the stimulation can be delivered according to the same programmed conditions rather than changed unpredictably between measurements.
Wireless communication primarily changes how the device is operated, not the electrode-based delivery route. By reducing tethering, Bluetooth-enabled stimulator systems can give experiments greater flexibility when subjects move freely or when measurements occur remotely. This distinction matters because researchers can preserve controlled electrical stimulation while avoiding a direct operating connection between the interface and the stimulator during the experiment.
A typical workflow begins by pairing the stimulator with a computer or mobile interface. Researchers then use that interface to set or adjust stimulation parameters. The device receives those commands through Bluetooth, converts them into timed pulses, and delivers the output through electrodes to neural tissue or an experimental preparation. This sequence supports repeatable stimulation during behavioral, physiological, or translational neuroscience studies.
Bluetooth-enabled stimulator systems are particularly useful when researchers need stimulation during freely moving experiments or remote measurements. Wireless control reduces tethering while retaining the ability to set or adjust operating parameters from a paired computer or mobile interface. That flexibility can support behavioral and physiological studies, as well as translational neuroscience work where wireless operation is valuable.
The approach can provide a controlled way to study neural excitability, circuit function, and neuromodulation. Researchers may apply stimulation to neural tissue or experimental preparations while using a paired interface to change parameters and deliver timed pulses. In behavioral or physiological experiments, wireless operation also supports measurements conducted with less tethering, broadening the settings in which stimulation protocols can be examined.
