Despite extensive research at the synaptic, cellular and circuit levels of analysis, reliable behavioral assays to study stereoscopic deficits in mice are limited. This study aimed to characterize the Visual Cliff Assay (VCA) and the Pole Descent Cliff Task (PDCT) in mice, and to evaluate their utility in detecting binocular dysfunction. Using these assays, we investigated the impact of clinically relevant manipulations of binocular vision, including monocular occlusion, pupillary dilation, and amblyopia induced by long-term MD. Our findings reveal that optimal performance in both the VCA and PDCT are dependent on balanced binocular input. However, deficits after MD in the VCA exhibited relatively small effect sizes (7-14%), requiring large sample sizes for statistical comparisons. In contrast, the PDCT demonstrated larger effect sizes (43-61%), allowing for reliable detection of binocular dysfunction with a smaller sample size. Both assays were validated using multiple monocular manipulations relevant to clinical paradigms, with the PDCT emerging as the preferred assay for detecting deficits in stereoscopic depth perception in mice. These findings provide a robust framework for using the VCA and PDCT in mechanistic and therapeutic studies in mice, offering insights into the neural mechanisms of binocular vision and potential interventions for amblyopia.</p>","PeriodicalId":46942,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Sociology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11463652/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90247380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The course integrates a significant sociological research project with community health partners, involving 15 hours of data collection through phone and door-to-door interviews. The research addresses two key questions: the role of applied research in developing a comprehensive understanding of social health aspects among premedicine students and the effect of incorporating an applied research project in an introductory sociology course. Findings indicate that students gained a heightened awareness of local health issues and an increased interest in diverse perspectives on health outcomes influenced by structural factors. Furthermore, exposure to health care inequalities motivated students to learn more about health disparities. The study concludes that experiential learning deepens the understanding of sociological concepts, significantly enriching the knowledge of social determinants of health among future health professionals.","PeriodicalId":46942,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Sociology","volume":"394 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although CEL strategies are well documented for enhancing students’ sociological imagination, gaps persist in the literature regarding the impact on community partners. This article addresses the challenges and opportunities inherent in CEL, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that enhances student learning while maintaining meaningful community partnerships. Through a case study of an undergraduate CBR class, this article highlights the instructor’s role in building authentic community-academic relationships, providing a blueprint for designing high-impact pedagogical practices with real-world applications. Employing qualitative interviews focused on students’ and community partners’ experiences, the study probes power dynamics, potential inequalities, and time-intensive aspects. It introduces an instructor-anchored partnership model incorporating team-based learning, addressing these complexities and presenting a framework for effective community-based learning in sociological education.","PeriodicalId":46942,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Sociology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
