  • Publication number: 20220287791
    Abstract: The automated apparatus for stereotactic surgical device capable of applying a rotational force to a handle of a stereotactic surgical device includes a support that is formed into a plate shape including therein a first opening and is coupled to the stereotactic surgical device, an operation part that is coupled to the handle penetrating the support and has a receiving groove, which is extended in a longitudinal direction, at an upper portion, a driving part that includes a rotational shaft and a rotational means rotating the rotational shaft, a rotational part that includes an insertion member to be inserted into the receiving groove and is coupled to the rotational shaft, and a connection part which is coupled to the driving part by receiving the rotational part in a chamber formed therein and of which the lower portion is detachably coupled to the support.

  • Patent number: 10974064
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of modulating a feature of a behavioral state. The methods involve inhibiting or activating the activity of a bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) neuron, a BNST subnucleus, or a neuronal output to or from a BNST neuron. Animals encounter environmental conditions that require rapid switching among different behavioral states to increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction.

  • Publication number: 20200049657
    Abstract: Articles and methods for the active transport of molecules into, within, and/or from a matrix are generally described. In some embodiments, an electric field may be used to alter the position of the molecule with respect to the matrix. The electric field may be used to move the molecule to a new location within the matrix, remove the molecule from the matrix, or infuse the molecule into the matrix. For instance, the electric field may be used to move a molecule having a binding partner within the matrix into or away from the vicinity of the binding partner. In some embodiments, the position of the molecule may be altered by exposing the molecule to an electrodynamic field. In some such embodiments, the molecule exposed to the dynamic electric field may have enhanced mobility and minimal adverse matrix interactions relative to conventional molecular transport methods, and in some cases, a molecule exposed to an electrostatic field.
