The effect of dopamine on Δψ_m and [Ca²⁺]_c in midbrain neurons and astrocytes. by Sonia Gandhi (49260)

“…Figure bi demonstrates the increase in Rh123 fluorescence at 1 minute, 6 minutes and 12 minutes that reflects mitochondrial membrane depolarisation in PINK1 ko cells. c, d: Single cell traces of PINK1 ko neurons demonstrating that dopamine induced decrease in ΔΨ_m occurs independently of any change in [Ca²⁺]_c in some cells (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0037564#pone-0037564-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1c</a>), whereas in other cells dopamine induced decrease in ΔΨ_m co-incides with a rise in [Ca²⁺]_c (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0037564#pone-0037564-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1d</a>). e: Incubation with D1/D5 receptor antagonist SCH23390 (20 µM) did not alter the dopamine induced calcium signal or mitochondrial depolarisation in PINK1 ko neurons. f: Dopamine induced mitochondrial depolarisation was prevented by application of the PTP inhibitor 1 µM cyclosporine A.…”

Elimination testing with adapted scoring reduces guessing and anxiety in multiple-choice assessments, but does not increase grade average in comparison with negative marking by Jef Vanderoost (5108072)

“…The comparison is structured around seven hypotheses: in comparison with negative marking, elimination testing with adapted scoring leads to (1) a similar average score (no grade inflation); (2) students expressing their partial knowledge; (3) a decrease in the number of blank answers; (4) no gender bias in the number of blank answers; (5) a reduction in guessing; (6) a decrease in self-reported test anxiety; and finally (7) students preferring elimination testing with adapted scoring over negative marking.…”
