Assessing Dominant-Submissive Behavior in Adult Rats Following Traumatic Brain Injury
0 Views •
2022
The present protocol describes a rat model of fluid percussion-induced traumatic brain injury followed by a series of behavioral tests to understand the development of dominant and submissive behavior. Using this model of traumatic brain injury in conjunction with specific behavioral tests enables the study of social impairments following brain injury.

2023
Stress negatively affects our quality of life. In particular, some individuals experience social stress when placed in a social environment that they are unfamiliar with or have difficulty adjusting to. Since it is hard to examine mechanisms of social stress in humans, modeling this condition in animals may help scientist in developing new therapies for treating this commonly encountered problem. This science education video begins by discussing the known anatomy and physiology behind stress...

2013
We developed computational de novo protein design methods capable of tackling several important areas of protein design. To disseminate these methods we present Protein WISDOM, an online tool for protein design (http://www.proteinwisdom.org). Starting from a structural template, design of monomeric proteins for increased stability and complexes for increased binding affinity can be performed.
FAQs
Journal scope determines whether a paper is an appropriate match before editorial evaluation begins. Authors should compare their manuscript’s subject and contribution with the publication’s stated focus rather than relying only on general reputation. A strong scope match can help the submission reach the relevant editorial audience, while a mismatch may lead to rejection before peer review.
Author guidelines translate a journal’s expectations into practical requirements for formatting, supporting documents, ethical standards, and use of its submission system. Following them helps authors present the work in the requested form and reduces avoidable problems during initial screening. Information literacy enables researchers to locate, interpret, and apply these instructions accurately.
Researchers should assess whether the journal provides clear author guidance, describes its editorial and peer-review processes, and communicates publication expectations transparently. They should also remain alert to signs of predatory publishing, such as practices that obscure how editorial decisions are made. This evaluation supports informed publication choices and protects the reliability of scholarly communication.
A submission may require more than the manuscript itself. Depending on the publication, authors can be asked for a cover letter, declarations, and statements about data or other resources. These materials provide context and disclose relevant information for editorial evaluation. Authors should consult the specific guidelines because requested components vary between publications.
Authors first identify a suitable publication, review its scope and requirements, and prepare the paper accordingly. They then use the journal’s submission system to provide the manuscript and any requested supporting materials, such as declarations or data statements. After submission, the paper enters editorial evaluation, which may lead to peer review, revision, acceptance, or rejection.
Information literacy helps authors distinguish credible publication venues from potentially predatory ones, interpret author instructions, and communicate evidence accurately. These skills influence both the choice of journal and the quality of the submitted materials. They also support transparency by encouraging appropriate declarations and data or resource statements when a publication requests them.
