APPLICATION OF A IMAGEJ-BASED METHOD TO MEASURE BLOOD FLOW IN ADULT ZEBRAFISH AND ITS APPLICATIONS FOR TOXICOLOGICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS

Application of a ImageJ-Based Method to Measure Blood Flow in Adult Zebrafish and Its Applications for Toxicological and Pharmacological Assessments

Blood flow is an important physiological endpoint to measure cardiovascular performance in animals.Because of their innate transparent bodies, zebrafish is an excellent animal model for assessing in vivo cardiovascular performance.Previously, various helpful methods for measuring blood flow in zebrafish larvae were discovered and developed.However,

Correcting fake news headlines after repeated exposure: memory and belief accuracy in younger and older adults

Abstract The efficacy of fake news corrections in improving memory and belief accuracy may depend on how often adults see false information before it is corrected.Two experiments tested the competing predictions that repeating fake news before corrections will either impair or improve memory and belief accuracy.These experiments also examined wheth
