What is a tertiary dendritic cell?
300
This part of the foot received electric shock during the method for figure 2, to determine pattern separation for different environmental contexts.
What is the Foot
300
This acronym was used to describe a ROSA26fstopEYEP/+ mouse in which young adult neuronal apoptosis still occurred
What is NCY?
300
NCff+TAM Mice exhibit this behavior less, but over-time when placed in a new but similar context from which they were shocked.
What is Freezing?
300
This compound is a known analog of BrdU, which was mentioned in this presentation
What is thymidine?
400
This stem cell marker is expressed by neural cells during the development of axons
What is Nestin?
400
This gene was incorporated as an EYFP reporter line into the NCY and NCffY mice.
What is ROSA26
400
iBAXNes
What is a NCff mouse injected with Tamoxifen?
400
This type of conditioning/ learning involves applying a sock in a context, and then repeatedly placing the mouse in a similar context and presenting no shock, so that it no longer predicts the coming of the shock. With this, mice expecting the shock gradually stops.
What is pattern separation?
400
This virus encodes the Cre enzyme, which is widely used to carry out cell-specific or time-specific DNA recombination by flanking the target DNA with loxP sites.

500
This specific y-axis label was used in supplementary figure 19A to describe the percentage of exploratory behavior outside of the center of the cage. There was no difference among NCff-TAM or NCff controls for this measure.
