CBGTPy: An extensible cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic framework for modeling biological decision making. by Matthew Clapp, Jyotika Bahuguna, Cristina Giossi, Jonathan E Rubin, Timothy Verstynen, Catalina Vich

“…CBGTPy enables researchers to investigate the internal dynamics of the CBGT system during a variety of tasks, allowing for the formation of testable predictions about animal behavior and neural activity. The framework has been designed around the principle of flexibility, such that many experimental parameters in a decision making paradigm can be easily defined and modified. …”

Calcineurin, Synaptic Plasticity, and Memory by Carl Weitlauf, Danny Winder

“…A current experimental strategy is to generate genetically altered mice with mutations in genes thought to be involved in LTP and assess the effects of these mutations both on LTP and animal behavior[1,2]. A difficulty associated with these approaches has been that they are not temporally or spatially refined. …”

Biosolids Effects in Chihuahuan Desert Rangelands: A Ten-Year Study by David B. Wester, Ronald E. Sosebee, Richard E. Zartman, Ernest B. Fish, J. Carlos Villalobos, Ricardo Mata-Gonzalez, Pedro Jurado, Corey A. Moffet

“…We conducted a 10-year research program investigating effects of biosolids applied at rates from 0 to 90 dry Mg ha−1 on soil water infiltration; runoff and leachate water quality; soil erosion; forage production and quality; seedling establishment; plant physiological responses; nitrogen dynamics; biosolids decomposition; and grazing animal behavior and management. Biosolids increased soil water infiltration and reduced erosion. …”
