This protocol describes a bioprinting methodology using an automated robotic depositing system that incorporates etched topographical guidance cues with the precision deposition of a cell bearing hydrogel bioink. The printed cells are directly delivered to the etched features and are able to sense and orientate with them.

We describe here the use of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein variant, pHluorin, to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of axon guidance receptors trafficking at the cell surface. The pHluorin-tagged receptor is expressed both in cell culture and in vivo, using electroporation of the chick embryo.

In this video article, we describe a new method allowing the construction of odorant gradients with stable and controllable geometries. We briefly illustrate how these gradients can be used to screen for olfactory defects (full and partial anosmia) and to study more subtle features of chemotaxis behavior.
FAQs
Behavior guidance begins by examining what happens before and after an action. Triggers can signal or prompt a response, while consequences influence whether that response is likely to recur. Mapping this sequence helps practitioners connect observable behavior with environmental conditions rather than treating the action in isolation. The resulting analysis can guide more targeted expectations, feedback, or reinforcement.
Clear expectations, modeling, reinforcement, and feedback affect behavior through different routes. Expectations specify the response that is sought; modeling demonstrates it; reinforcement strengthens a constructive response; and feedback supplies information about performance. Combining these components can make guidance more understandable and consistent, especially when a person is learning a new response or adjusting behavior in a social environment.
Self-monitoring directs attention toward one’s own actions, triggers, and progress in relation to a goal. This information can help reveal patterns that are not obvious to an observer and can support emotional regulation or behavioral adjustment. In psychology, pairing self-monitoring with feedback allows individuals and practitioners to compare observed behavior with desired outcomes and refine the guidance strategy.
Practitioners can begin by clarifying a personal goal or social expectation, identifying relevant triggers and consequences, and observing the current response. Next, they can select clear expectations, modeling, reinforcement, feedback, or self-monitoring as appropriate. Reviewing changes in observable behavior and emotional regulation then helps determine whether the strategy supports a more adaptive response.
Its applications span learning, emotional regulation, classroom and family interactions, counseling, and behavior-change programs. The same principles can be adapted to developmental and clinical settings, but the relevant goals and social environments may differ. This breadth makes the approach useful for examining both everyday interactions and structured efforts to promote more adaptive outcomes.
Evaluation links changes in observable actions to the conditions in which they occur and to the intended personal or social goal. Psychologists can examine whether constructive responses become stronger, emotional regulation improves, or interactions adapt. Considering internal processes alongside environmental conditions helps interpret why an intervention produced a particular outcome, rather than relying on behavior change alone.
