Structural changes of the amygdala subnuclei and limbic white matter tracts in healthy aging and major depressive disorder
DownloadFall 2019
The world population is dramatically aging. Several factors affect brain in healthy aging. The apolipoprotein E (APOE), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) might be involved in neurodegenerative diseases, depression and cognitive decline in healthy...

Synergistic Associations of Genetic, Demographic, Health, and Lifestyle Risk Factors on Neurocognitive Performance and Change in Aging
DownloadSpring 2016
Objective: Neurocognitive phenotypes observed in aging have been linked to select combinations of candidate genetic polymorphisms and modifiable risk factors. In this dissertation, I test multiple methods and approaches to examine three modifiable risk domains (i.e., demographic, health,...

The effect of aerobic fitness on the cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system response to physiological stress at rest and during dynamic exercise
DownloadFall 2012
A cardio-protective adaptation associated with aerobic fitness may be an attenuated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and cardiovascular response to stress. The hypothesis that the cardiovascular and SNS responses to physiological stress at rest and during exercise would be a function of...

Purpose. The present study focused on modulating features of speech motor control using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Recent studies have shown that tDCS modulates cortical activity within the brain, leading to changes in both cognitive and motor performance. More specific to...

Spring 2022
Background: Carbon monoxide alters cardiovascular function through its actions as a signaling molecule and by limiting oxygen delivery in the blood, favouring pro-dilatory and anti-constrictor effects within the vasculature. The impacts of mild carbon monoxide exposure on vascular responses to...

Transition Theory: Evidence from Personal Transitions and Their Role in the Contents and Organization of Autobiographical Memories
DownloadFall 2017
The retrieval curve of autobiographical memories across the lifespan is not an Ebbinghaus forgetting curve; it peaks at adolescence and early adulthood. One mainstream theory of autobiographical memory uses “the self” to explain the reminiscence bump and other phenomena in the field. In this...
