Figure Lengend Snippet: Neurorobot workshop. (A) Brains used to investigate spontaneous behavior (Ai) , directed navigation (Braitenberg vehicle) (Aii) , slow exploration (Aiii) and random networks (Aiv) . In a Braitenberg vehicle, detection of a visual feature in either half of the visual field activates motors on the opposite side of the robot, allowing it to approach a target even if the target moves around. (B) Brain used to investigate Hebbian learning. Plot shows synaptic decay rates for three durations of training. (C) Brain used to investigate adaptive action selection. Plot shows network drive for 3 networks during normal and rewarded (black bar) behavior.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Generation of Jurkat cell lines stably producing APP. (A) Immunoblot of endogenous APP in Jurkat, 293T/17, and HeLa cells carrying APP-targeting shRNA (APP KD) or control shRNA. (B) qPCR analysis of relative APP mRNA levels in cells presented in (A). Differences from the reference level of 1 set for HeLa control cells were analyzed using one-sample t-test (n ¼ 4 each). Significant differences are marked with asterisks (***p < 0.001). (C) Immunoblot of APP, Orai1, and STIM1 in Jurkat cells stably expressing APP, APPSWE or an empty cassette (control), compared with wildtype HeLa cells. (D) FACS analysis of Y188-labeled Jurkat APP cells and APPSWE cells. Y188-labeled and mock-labeled 293T/17 cells were analyzed in parallel to set a threshold for Y188- positive cells (horizontal line). The x-axis of both histograms shows the Y188 signal normalized to cell size (FL1-H/FSC) on a logarithmic scale.
