ScienceBeam is the sponsor at the second annual meeting of the International Center for Neuroscience Research with the support of IBRO (International Brain Research Organization).
This Associate School is organized by the International Center for Neuroscience Research in partnership with the Direction of Human and Animal Physiology, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University in Georgia, and will be held virtually on 20-24 August 2021. The school will be organized at the same time with the 2nd Annual Meeting of the International Center for Neuroscience Research. This school will provide a 5-day comprehensive course program including lectures, virtual workshops, and panel discussion. The main topic of the school is “Recent Advances in Neurodegenerative Diseases and their Therapies”. The recent developments in brain disorders and therapies will be discussed.
The school will focus on the following themes:

  • Behavioral Studies
  • Molecular Studies
  • Electrophysiological Studies
  • Pain and Addiction Research

Alongside with the IBRO-APRC Georgian Associate School of Neuroscience, ScienceBeam is the organizer of the Animal Electrophysiology workshop, with “Multi-channel/Multi-unit Recording in Behaving Mice” topic.

Workshop Description:

In order to have multichannel/multiunit recording in behaving mice, it’s very important to have all the steps done carefully and professionally to get high-quality data for the interpretation of the results. The experimentation starts with the preparation of the multichannel recording’s electrodes/tetrodes. Once the electrodes are ready, animal surgeries are performed. Animals are given time to recover. Once the animals have recovered, multi-channel multiunit recordings are done in behaving animals. Data is acquired and stored for future analysis. Various parameters are studied in the recorded data. Topics to be covered:

Theoretical Section:

  • Preparation of multichannel recordings electrodes/tetrodes
  • Animal surgeries/multichannel/multi-unit recordings
  • Data acquisition and storing

Practical Section:

Pain Management

Description:

The overall goal of this video is demonstration of a general framework for the peripheral nervous system (PNS) recording through eLab recording system which is manufactured by ScienceBeam institute. In this manner we are going to conduct an animal experiment on Sciatic nerve branches such as Tibial and Peroneal nerve to detect nociceptive pain induced by noxious mechanical stimulation in ipsilateral paw.

Locomotion Management

Description:

The overall goal of the following experiment is to use the eLab system for recording and electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in order to control hindlimb kinematic in the rat model. This is achieved by delicately removing the skin and muscle layers over the spinal column and identifying the correct vertebral target. Next, a laminectomy is performed on the targeted vertebra to expose the spinal cord. Then microelectrode is implanted on the spinal segments to record neural activity such as local field potential and spike to decode air-stepping motion or deliver electrical pulses to manage hindlimb locomotion.
