RNA interference (RNAi) is an extremely valuable tool for uncovering gene function. However, the ability to target genes using RNAi during pre-adult stages is limited in the major human malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. We describe an RNAi protocol to reduce gene function via direct injection during pupal development.

Source: Stefanou, M., et.al. Brain State-dependent Brain Stimulation with Real-time Electroencephalography-Triggered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)This video demonstrates the process of real-time EEG-triggered transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study cortical excitability. The procedure involves positioning the TMS coil over the motor cortex, synchronizing stimulation with specific phases of the EEG signal, and recording motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) to explore...
FAQs
The approach targets localized hypersensitive areas within tight muscle bands even when discomfort extends into a referred region. Applying pressure, massage, stretching, and movement to the involved tissue may reduce muscle tension and interrupt abnormal pain signaling. This helps connect the treatment site with the broader pattern of musculoskeletal pain experienced by the patient.
Sustained pressure gives the practitioner a way to work directly on a sensitive, tense area rather than addressing pain only at its most noticeable location. Combined with massage, stretching, or movement, it may decrease tension and support more normal tissue mobility. The intended result is improved comfort and function in the affected region.
Restricted motion can accompany muscle-related pain, particularly around the neck, shoulders, back, and other affected regions. By addressing tension in the involved tissue and incorporating stretching and movement, the therapy aims to restore mobility. Improved range of motion can then support functional recovery when the technique is included within a broader rehabilitation plan.
A session may include sustained pressure applied to a hypersensitive area, along with massage, stretching, and movement of the affected tissue. The practitioner selects these manual approaches according to the localized muscle tension, pain pattern, or restricted mobility being assessed. Together, they provide a practical way to address both symptoms and movement limitations.
Practitioners may include this approach when muscle-related pain or restricted range of motion affects regions such as the neck, shoulders, or back. It can be used as one component of a broader rehabilitation plan rather than as an isolated strategy. Its role may include reducing tension, supporting mobility, and contributing to functional recovery.
The location of hypersensitive areas, the presence of tight muscle bands, referred pain patterns, and changes in mobility can help guide assessment of musculoskeletal pain. Observing how symptoms and movement respond during manual treatment may add clinically relevant information about muscle involvement. This assessment role helps practitioners plan rehabilitation around functional limitations and affected regions.
