Weekly Report Sample
Hello Dr Buxbaum,
Below is my weekly update for this week from 5th July '16 to 6th July '16.
1) VEP practice recording (Shank3 Mice):
- I had scheduled a VEP session today and while recording, I got -156 uv in a 20 successive stimuli presentation. Following this, I had recorded successive 3 sessions below -100 uv. I'll ask Hiro tomorrow if these 3 successive sessions would provide the confidence he needs to allow me to perform the VEPs on Shank3 cohort. Accordingly, I'll schedule a session to provide such recording results.
- The issue still persists after 10-15 successive runs. I had Hiro look into the grounding but he had to leave so we couldn't work on it. I'll try to schedule a morning session so that we can deal with the noise issue …show more content…
- We have 8 rats that will be performing on S1b schedule (1st Schedule in the 5 Choice training) tomorrow. 4 rats are bumped up to S2b schedule while 2 rats are on S3b Schedule.
- Out of the 16 rats, 1 rat will be running on S4b Schedule tomorrow, which marks the half way of the training. There is one rat that will be running on a pre-training trial; although, based on its performance today, we are expecting quicker progress i tomorrow.
- We started tracking the rat's behavior using the floor insert I designed for the superbox today and have been able to successfully track the data without any noise from the surrounding compared to the previous noise infested tracking acquired using white glossy floors.
3) VEP Insert for Shank3 Rats:
- Good news on the Shank3 insert design is that the placed order has been shipped from the company and is expected to reach Mount Sinai by the end of this week.
- I have made the non-mitered piece designs by editing the final design work and will be getting the design in CAD file ready by Friday and will order for a quote from the NY Lasercut Company by next week,
