    Application Note: Electrophysiology Electrophysiology Introduction Electrophysiology is a field of research that deals with the electrical properties of cells and biological tissues. In some cases, it is used to test for nervous or cardiac diseases and abnormalities. In many research applications probes are used to measure the electrical activity of individual cells, tissues, and whole specimens. Measuring the activity of cells at various membrane potentials can give valuable information about ion transport mechanisms and cellular communication. Varying ionic strength and membrane potential on cell populations can be used to study contractile movements of muscle cells, and diseases affecting the normal propagation of impulses. Using various stimulation techniques along with a selection of quality equipment and setup design can give rise to a wealth of applications in electrophysiology. Electrophysiology Principle Researchers and clinicians use electrophysiology when studying the electrical properties of neural and muscle tissue. In the clinical laboratory, electroencephalograms are routinely performed as a test for neural disorders like epilepsy, brain tumor, stroke, encephalitis, and others by measuring the electrical activity of the brain through external electrodes. In the research laboratory, electrophysiology methods are used to measure the ion-channel activity of cell membranes in various electrical environments. Here, an extremely thin micropipette is used to make intimate contact with the cell membrane to study membrane potential. Neurons and other cell types derive their electrical properties from their lipid bilayer and the ion concentrations inside and outside of the cell. The ion concentration differences create a membrane potential difference on either side of the membrane. The flow of ions across the membrane generates a current that can be measured using Ohm’s law, where the change in voltage (V) is related to the current (I) and membrane resistance (R).

  • Biography (Modified, After Festetics 1983)
    Konrad Lorenz’s Biography (modified, after Festetics 1983) 1903: Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (KL) was born in Altenberg /Austria on Nov. 7 as the last of three children of Emma Lorenz and Dr. Adolf Lorenz, professor for orthopedics at the Medical branch of the University of Vienna. In the same year the representative and spacious Altenberg family home was finished. 1907: KL starts keeping animals, such as spotted newts in aquaria, raises some ducklings and is not pleased by his first experiences with a dachshound. Niko Tinbergen, his lifelong colleague and friend, is born on April 15 in Den Haag, The Netherlands. 1909: KL enters elementary school and engages in systematic studies in crustaceans. 1910: Oskar Heinroth, biologist and founder of "Vergleichende Verhaltensforschung" (comparative ethology) from Berlin and fatherlike scientific mentor of the young KL publishes his classical paper on the ethology of ducks. 1915: KL enters highschool (Schottengymnasium Wien), keeps and breeds songbirds. 1918: Wallace Craig publishes the comparative ethology of Columbidae (pigeons), a classics of late US biologist Charles O. Whitman, who was like O. Heinroth, a founding father of comparative ethology. 1921: KL excels in his final exams. Together with friend Bernhard Hellmann, he observes and experiments with aggression in a cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatum). This was the base for KL's psychohydraulic model of motivation. 1922: Father Adolf sends KL to New York to take 2 semesters of medicine courses at the ColumbiaUniversity, but mainly to interrupt the relationship of KL with longterm girlfriend Gretl Gebhart, his later wife. This paternal attempt to influence the mate choice of KL failed.

He was a very intelligent child. He graduated high school early and attended the University of Chicago at the age of fifteen. James loved birds and initially studied ornithology (the study of birds) at college. He later changed his specialty to genetics. In 1950, at the age of 22, Watson received his PhD in zoology from the University of Indiana. James Watson and Francis Crick https://www.ducksters.com/biography/scientists/watson_and_crick.php James D. Watson. Source: National Institutes of Health In 1951, Watson went to Cambridge, England to work in the Cavendish Laboratory in order to study the structure of DNA. There he met another scientist named Francis Crick. Watson and Crick found they had the same interests. They began working together. In 1953 they published the structure of the DNA molecule. This discovery became one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Watson (along with Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for the discovery of the DNA structure. He continued his research into genetics writing several textbooks as well as the bestselling book The Double Helix which chronicled the famous discovery. Watson later served as director of the Cold Spring Harbor Lab in New York where he led groundbreaking research into cancer.

    Concentration in Physiology and Organismal Biology Physiology and organismal biology are broad, integrative, and overlapping disciplines that generally focus on the study of life above the cellular level. Physiology integrates molecular, cellular, systems, and whole-body functions of organisms. Related courses in the department mainly emphasize the study of vertebrates and provide a foundation for the understanding of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical basis of human physiology. Organismal biology focuses on the mechanisms that contribute to the form, function, and behavior of whole organisms. Courses in this area approach these subjects in an ecological and evolutionary context. The concentration offers opportunities to gain hands-on experience through upper-level electives that include a laboratory section (e.g., Human Anatomy, Human Physiology) or advanced experience courses (e.g., Topics in Biomechanics, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease). Additionally, research, mentoring, or teaching opportunities may be arranged with core faculty. This concentration prepares students for a wide variety of career paths, including the perusal of advanced degrees in human and veterinary medicine and graduate research in ecology, evolutionary biology, and applied natural sciences.

  • Evolutionary Developmental Biology 573
    EVOC20 29/08/2003 11:15 AM Page 572 Evolutionary 20 Developmental Biology volutionary developmental biology, now often known Eas “evo-devo,” is the study of the relation between evolution and development. The relation between evolution and development has been the subject of research for many years, and the chapter begins by looking at some classic ideas. However, the subject has been transformed in recent years as the genes that control development have begun to be identified. This chapter looks at how changes in these developmental genes, such as changes in their spatial or temporal expression in the embryo, are associated with changes in adult morphology. The origin of a set of genes controlling development may have opened up new and more flexible ways in which evolution could occur: life may have become more “evolvable.” EVOC20 29/08/2003 11:15 AM Page 573 CHAPTER 20 / Evolutionary Developmental Biology 573 20.1 Changes in development, and the genes controlling development, underlie morphological evolution Morphological structures, such as heads, legs, and tails, are produced in each individual organism by development. The organism begins life as a single cell. The organism grows by cell division, and the various cell types (bone cells, skin cells, and so on) are produced by differentiation within dividing cell lines. When one species evolves into Morphological evolution is driven another, with a changed morphological form, the developmental process must have by developmental evolution changed too. If the descendant species has longer legs, it is because the developmental process that produces legs has been accelerated, or extended over time.

It keeps him young. …Konrad Lonenz 1 Glossary on Kalinga Prize Laureates Konrad Lorenz Biography Ethology – Imprinting Konrad Lorenz (Konard Zacharisa Lorenz) was born on November 7, 1903 in Vienna, Austria. As a little boy, he loved animals and had a collection that include fish, dogs, monkeys, insects, ducks, and geese. His interest in animal behaviour was intense.When he was 10 years old, Lorenz became aware of the existence of the Theory of Evolution through reading a book by Wilhelm Bölsche in which he was fascinated by a picture of an Archaeopteryx. Evolution gave him insight-his father had explained that the word “insect” was derived from the notches, the “incisions” between the segments-if reptiles could become birds, annelid worms could develop into insects. As he grew towards adulthood he wanted to become a paleontologist, however he reluctantly followed his father’s wishes, and studied medicine at the University of Vienna and at Columbia University. He later regarded this compliance to have been in his own best interests as one of his teachers of anatomy, Ferdinand Hochstetter, proved to be a brilliant comparative anatomist and embryologist and a dedicated teacher of the comparative method.

Abstract: Brain-on-Chip (BoC) biotechnology is emerging as a promising tool for biomedical and pharmaceutical research applied to the neurosciences. At the convergence between lab-on-chip and cell biology, BoC couples in vitro three-dimensional brain-like systems to an engineered microfluidics platform designed to provide an in vivo-like extrinsic microenvironment with the aim of replicating tissue- or organ-level physiological functions. BoC therefore offers the advantage of an in vitro repro- duction of brain structures that is more faithful to the native correlate than what is obtained with conventional cell culture techniques.
