Olfactory Stimuli Characterization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Olfactory stimulations with synthetic cues, predator urine and spices were used during calcium imaging and behavioral assays at the indicated dilutions. BA, mix of pyrazines (2,6-dimethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine), 2PT, TMT, SBT, carbon disulfide (CS2) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Alfa Aesar and Contech at the highest available purity or synthetized in-house15 (link),20 (link). Mt.Lion urine was obtained from PredatorPee and was previously analyzed for its fear-inducing properties20 (link). Commercial spices from McCormick or from local distributors were used as infused solution or as dry powders. For calcium imaging and standard two choices assay, liquid stocks of infused spices were previously prepared in double distilled sterile water (50%, weight/vol) during 1 h under constant agitation, filtered (0.22 μm) and stocked at 4 °C. Similar procedure was done for perfusion of powdered food for calcium imaging. For a two choices assay associated with STFP procedures, spices were used as dry powders freshly added to rodent’s powdered food (weight/weight)52 (link)–56 (link). They were coupled as tested paired spices (spice #1 vs. spice #2), in counterbalanced mode to avoid any innate preference13 (link); cinnamon (1%) vs. cocoa (2%), anise (1%) vs. oregano (2.4%), thyme (2%) vs. basil (1.4%) and nutmeg (1%) vs. ginger (1%).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
