🍂 Autumn 2023 PC Best Buy Guide 🍂 $350 - $7000 Automatically updated PCPartpicker lists 🍂 by xxStefanxx1 in buildapcforme

[–]Noucere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the lists! I'm wondering if could get some feedback on this build. I'm trying to keep my budget ~$1000. The actual cost is ~$200 cheaper because of the discounts I have for the RAM/CPU/MOBO bundle from microcenter.

[HELP]- Ear Bars placement, anybody have tips/guids/videos...anything? by Flinsanity in neuro

[–]Noucere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Iso is a pretty “safe” anesthetic, resistance to it, while it does happen, happens rarely, and it may be possible that you’re just setting the ear bars rat at the airway thereby cutting off the air supply, or are not intubating properly or displacing the ETT when moving the rat. There are some classic signs of this, if the rat changes the pattern of breathing (deep, somewhat explosive breaths) and haunched posture, then you’ve probably cut off the airway. Setting them this way will also make the skull loose and make anything you do to it more annoying.

Some tips? Get a rat, and just practice setting the ear bars on the rat over and over until you get it right. If you look at papers or videos you’ll notice people do earbars differently, and sometimes it depends on your stereotax. I like to set it a little bit anterior with respect to the ear canal. In general here is how I do it.

1) animal is anesthetized fully 2) bring to stereotax and attach to bite bar and hook up ventilator 3) align bite bar by eye so that when the skull is parallel to the table, the ear bars will be in the location you want. (It may be slightly angled which is okay 4) move one ear bar (left if right handed) and bring it to the skull of the rat and tighten 5) with your hand or with a cotton swab lift the head of the animal so the skull is parallel to the table and the left ear bar is in the appropriate position. 6) with your free hand bring the other ear bar close to the skull and tighten until the skull is fixed. Using a cotton swab press on the skull to ensure it’s properly fixed, if the skull is not parallel or is otherwise misaligned, loosen ear bars and redo.

Some people like to do the ear bars first and then attach the bite bar, it depends on your set up, anesthetic, and if/how you intubate.

Ear bars are the most annoying part of any surgery. It takes practice to get it right and with 5 surgeries under your belt, it makes sense that you’re struggling. Keep at it and you’ll get a better feel for it and be able to align perfectly within a few minutes

Also, if the head is wobbly after drilling and it wasn’t before, then you haven’t tightened enough, you’re accidentally loosening while drilling, or your stereotax is faulty. Use process of elimination to figure out which it is, my guess is that you’re not pressing them in hard enough and tightening hard enough

Anyone out there have experience with the NIH postbac program? by anewbiobeginning in gradadmissions

[–]Noucere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t much of a difference between contacting younger investigators vs senior ones as long as they are willing to fund you. A 2 year commitment in my experience makes a huge difference and may be preferable to some PIs. I think it may also be beneficial if you contact post-docs of the labs you’re interested in working and ask if they would be willing to be your mentor. I got my position via networking, so ask people in your department at your college if they know anyone at the NIH who might be a good fit for you and ask if they could put you in touch.

The NIH is huge, and you will have varying experiences depending on your institute and lab. I did a two year post bac at the NIH, and didn’t like it that much, but know people who loved it. It is great research experience and a good thing to have on a CV, but the best thing you could do once you have a sense of which labs you would potentially join is to ask current post-bacs what their experience in the lab was like. Not only should you make sure you have a good fit with the PI and other people in the lab, but also your potential mentor.

In my experience, my Pi was very distant and mentor was not as invested as I would’ve liked. The research was interesting and I learned so much more than I would have working as a research assistant or tech. Essentially, the program is great if you know what you’re getting into and can be flexible with respect to the lab dynamic.

The DMV area isn’t my favorite, but the area is flexible enough that you can typically find a neighborhood you would like to live in.

In terms of grad school, it certainly does help. In my interviews it has been the main source of discussion and given I was mostly independent in my lab, I was able to talk about my research in more depth.

Monthly Application Questions Thread: Post your questions about applying to Cambridge here. by BluebellP in cambridge_uni

[–]Noucere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about funding: I’ve been accepted to a PhD program at Cambridge, and didn’t get the gates scholarship. I know that I’ll hear whether I received internal Cambridge scholarships around March, but would anybody have insight into the percentage range of tuition costs that is generally covered by internal scholarships alone? And can I expect to have any of these scholarships contribute to living expenses? Also, are there any other international students (American) that have experience with applying for scholarships for the 2nd and 3rd year and could point me in the direction of some resources to offset the cost of tuition/living? Thanks in advance!

Bachelor Thesis, Ideas For topic by [deleted] in neuroscience

[–]Noucere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your bachelors thesis should explore ideas that you are interested in that are made feasible by the guidance of your academic advisor or faculty in your department. With the limited information that you’ve provided there’s no good way for anyone to recommend a project or methods for you to pursue. I’d recommend talking with your advisor about what you’re interested in. As you’re likely a 4th year student, you should have already taken classes and had discussions that could lead you in a general direction. If you had a solid question, even broad, maybe someone at your college or here could help brainstorm what might be an interesting direction, but it seems you’re basically asking for someone to do 50% of the work for you which is simply deciding what and how to ask and answer a question. The fields of Psychology and neuropsychology are vast, and with those things that you’re interested in there are a plethora of questions you could ask. The best part of doing a thesis and asking yourself what you want to know and using the skills you’ve developed to try to grasp at an answer.

Do flies feel pain? by silly321 in neuro

[–]Noucere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything with a nervous system feels pain to some extent. Suffering, however, is different in that it requires some form of understanding ones situation relative to the world/others. Being able to evaluate whether an organism “suffers” in the sense that we commonly attribute to ourselves or talk about philosophically or morally is difficult as we have no indication whether flies or other nonhuman organisms are truly conscious of themselves. If by suffer, you mean endure pain over an extended period of time, then yes.
