Flavoprotein autofluorescence imaging detects the metabolic activity of endogenous flavoprotein in neuronal tissue and thus provides an indirect measure of brain activity. As flavoprotein imaging is minimally invasive and does not require expensive equipment or reagents, it is easily combined with tract tracing methods and serves as a valuable approach for investigating functional organization of the brain. This paper provides a step-by-step protocol for flavoprotein imaging to record cortical activity in response to auditory stimuli, along with a method for injecting neuroanatomical tracers into functionally identified cortical regions. Key factors for obtaining reproducible results include stabile head fixation, a controlled dark imaging environment, maintenance of body temperature, and oxygen saturation monitoring.</p>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144198095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly true for receptors and ion channels condensed in the synaptic cleft, postsynaptic density, or trigger zone of action potentials. To overcome this problem, several laboratories have attempted antigen-exposure techniques.

The students' knowledge levels regarding heart anatomy were assessed before and after the applications. In addition, the student's metacognitive awareness and satisfaction levels were measured after the TBMA and VR applications. The participants' opinions regarding the applications were evaluated using qualitative analysis techniques. Descriptive statistics, variance analysis, and t tests were used to analyze quantitative data, and Colaizzi's education method was prepared sevenfold to examine qualitative data. A significant increase in heart anatomy knowledge levels was observed in the distribution of VR and TBMA. However, no significant difference was found between the groups (p > 0.05). In addition, while the metacognitive awareness of heart anatomy was higher in the students in the VR group, the students in the TBMA group were more satisfied with the learning process. Students stated that learning heart anatomy with VR and TBMA methods was fun, informative, and enjoyable and that such applications should be used more in classes.

This review highlights how HS-AFM has been instrumental in uncovering the dynamic interplay between nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)-which regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport-and genome guardians, including DNA repair proteins and chromatin regulators. Structurally, the NPCs resemble a multi-layered spider cobweb, serving as crucial molecular gatekeepers for maintaining cellular homeostasis, while genome guardians safeguard genomic integrity through DNA repair and chromatin organization. Through HS-AFM, the researchers have gained unprecedented insights into NPC dynamics, revealing their adaptability during nuclear transport, chromatin reorganization, and viral infection. It has also elucidated how genome guardians interact with NPCs, influencing chromatin organization at the nuclear periphery and regulating nucleocytoplasmic trafficking. These discoveries underscore the critical role of NPC-genome interactions in genome stability, gene expression, and nuclear transport, with broad implications for diseases such as cancer, viral infections, and neurodegenerative disorders. In conclusion, HS-AFM has transformed our ability to study the nuclear landscape at the nanoscale, bridging the gap between structural biology and functional genomics. By capturing the real-time molecular dynamics of NPCs and chromatin, HS-AFM provides an essential tool for unraveling the mechanisms that govern nuclear transport and genome regulation. Future advancements in HS-AFM technology, including higher temporal resolution, correlative imaging, and AI-driven analysis, will further expand its potential in biomedical research, paving the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144092699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
