Small molecular probes designed for photopharmacology and opto-chemogenetics are rapidly gaining widespread recognition investigations of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels. This protocol describes the use three photoswitchable diacylglycerol analogs—PhoDAG-1, PhoDAG-3, OptoDArG—for ultrarapid activation deactivation native TRPC2 channels in mouse vomeronasal sensory neurons olfactory type B cells, as well heterologously expressed human TRPC6 Photoconversion can be...
The understanding of individual diversity and its link to brain functions is a fundamental issue in neurobiology. Studies mice have mainly focused on the investigation behavior traits adulthood, whereas longitudinal analyses are largely uninvestigated. Here we conducted systematic tests (C57BL6/J, male), comparing phenotypes at early postnatal stages adulthood. Each animal showed different scores tests. However, observed an inverse correlation between repetitive Morris water maze test...
Abstract Advanced paternal age has deleterious effects on mental health of next generation. Using a mouse model, we have confirmed that offspring derived from aged fathers showed impairments in behavior and abnormalities the brain structure activity. Comprehensive target DNA methylome analyses revealed sperm more hypo-methylated genomic regions, which REST/NRSF binding motif was enriched. Gene set enrichment also identified “REST/NRSF genes”, addition to “Late-fetal genes” autism spectrum...
