Analysis of Xenopus melanotrope cell size and POMC-gene expression.

Abstract:

:Flow cytometry was used to separate Xenopus melanotrope cells according to their size. The cells were then submitted to real-time RT-PCR to determine the level of POMC-gene expression. The results show a positive correlation between cell size and gene expression for cells from black-background (but not white-background) adapted animals.

The combination of new behavioral methods and computational methods has begun to unravel the interaction between processes related to strategic control and processes related to motor adaptation. These processes may operate on very diff...
