A force-measuring and behaviour-recording system consisting of 24 individual 3D force plates for the study of single limb forces in climbing animals on a quasi-cylindrical tower.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study describes the design of a new force measuring array with a quasi-cylindrical surface for measuring the 3D ground reaction forces of animals climbing on a surface with high curvature. This force-measuring array was assembled from 24 individ...

Simultaneous quantification of batrachotoxin and epibatidine in plasma by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)
An ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of batrachotoxin and epibatidine in plasma. Plasma samples were pretreated by liquid-liquid extrac...

Homeostasis: Stay cool but keep on breathing.

Current biology : CB
Homeostatic control of neural networks is based on monitoring the activity level of neurons and adjusting excitability. A recent study demonstrates that the physical environment per se (temperature) can directly regulate the neural circuits underlyin...
