Movement ecology thrives from a successful synergy of data and models. In a field where experiments are difficult or impossible, linking field data with mathematical and statistical models allows us to test hypotheses and increase our quantitative understanding of movement processes. Owing to...

Modulation of Spontaneous Neural Network Bursting in Newborn Rat Brain Slices by Extracellular Calcium, Methylxanthines, and Opioids
DownloadFall 2012
Spontaneous neuronal bursting appears to be pivotal for brain maturation. This thesis studied such synchronized neural network oscillations in immature newborn rat hippocampus, cortex, and locus coeruleus. For this, horizontal brain slices were generated for (simultaneous) suction electrode...

The ability of synapses to undergo lasting changes in synaptic strength is considered the primary cellular mechanism for associative memory formation in the mammalian brain. Synapses in the hippocampus, a brain structure required for new memory genesis, exhibit a remarkable capacity for...

Neurosilence: intracerebral applications of protein synthesis inhibitors eliminate neural activity
DownloadFall 2010
The acquisition of a behavioural response (learning) and the later retrieval of this response (memory) are separated by an endogenous biological process which consolidates the temporary neural changes initiated by training. Intracerebral infusions of stimulants to the hippocampus potentiate this...

NOREPINEPHRINE-MEDIATED SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY: A NOVEL SIGNALING DIALOGUE BETWEEN RECEPTORS AND NUCLEUS
DownloadSpring 2014
Norepinephrine (NE) helps in the consolidation and retention of memories of emotionally charged events. However, the pathway from membrane receptors to nucleus in noradrenergic signaling in the brain is not completely understood. The cyclic AMP-PKA pathway is one of the most studied signaling...

Despite considerable research progress towards characterizing the neurobiology of anxiety, the focus on putative behavioral markers and the absence of a common behavioural/neurobiological signature for the different classes of anxiolytic drugs have potentially slowed research into the neural...

On Being Without is an examination of trauma related to abandonment. I explore representations of the body by investigating interior and exterior space, questioning what happens when distressing memories are triggered by image, place and time. Normalization of trauma continues to be a major risk...

The increasingly heavy standardization of distribution overhead powerline installations presents an opportunity for the automated design of distribution overhead powerline pole structures, attachments and conductor spans. A successful design automation algorithm must be capable of generating...

Approximately 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. While most patients with epilepsy will respond to anticonvulsant medications, approximately one third are found to have drug resistant epilepsy. Mesial temporal...
