Question

Which technique involves injecting an animal with a radioactive molecule to see which part of the olfactory bulb is most activated by different chemicals? genetic tracing olfactory evoked potentials 2-dg tvc-15?

Answer 1

The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose.  2DG is a glucose molecule that has the 2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of glycolysis).
