  2. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    The goal is ultimately to understand how the movement of individual limbs relates to the overall movement of an animal within its environment. Below highlights the key kinematic parameters used to quantify body and limb movement for different modes of animal locomotion.

  3. Cap analysis of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_Analysis_of_Gene...

    Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) is a gene expression technique used in molecular biology to produce a snapshot of the 5′ end of the messenger RNA population in a biological sample (the transcriptome).

  4. Open field (animal test) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Field_(animal_test)

    Furthermore, the movement model identified in this study is linked to conventional parameters, such as level crossing statistics that describe zone transition events. This connection allows for the reproduction of scalar metrics traditionally used in the characterization of open field test results from a model-based perspective, thereby ...

  5. Motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motility

    These cellular movements can be directed by external stimuli, a phenomenon known as taxis. Examples include chemotaxis (movement along chemical gradients) and phototaxis (movement in response to light). Motility also includes physiological processes like gastrointestinal movements and peristalsis.

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge made in 1884 and 1885 at the University of Pennsylvania, to study motion in animals (including humans).

  7. Animal testing on rodents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_testing_on_rodents

    Many laboratory animals, including mice and rats, are chronically stressed which can also negatively affect research outcomes and the ability to accurately extrapolate findings to humans. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Researchers have also noted that many studies involving mice, rats and other rodents are poorly designed, leading to questionable findings.

  8. Cage effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_effect

    In chemistry, the cage effect [1] (also known as geminate recombination [2]) describes how the properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings. First introduced by James Franck and Eugene Rabinowitch [ 3 ] [ 4 ] in 1934, the cage effect suggests that instead of acting as an individual particle, molecules in solvent are more accurately ...

  9. Undulatory locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatory_locomotion

    Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of gait utilized by limbless animals, some creatures with limbs, such as the salamander, forgo ...
