The reason and functional relevance of why we sleep continues to perplex researchers. One fundamental reason behind why sleep remains a mystery is because it is challenging to study given how easily it is disrupted. Anesthesia has been suggested to be a model for studying sleep given the...

The major question addressed by neuroscience is how behavior can be explained through knowledge of the brain. Given the unobservable nature of mind, cognitive neuroscientists depend on observations of the electrical activity of the brain gleaned through electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to...

Sleep Disordered Breathing: Contribution of Abdominal Muscle Activation and Hormonal Intervention in Healthy and Pathological Conditions
DownloadSpring 2024
Breathing and sleep are both imperative and intricate physiological processes that require development in the perinatal period to sustain life and adapting to changes in postnatal life. Inspiration and expiration are generated by oscillatory microcircuits located in the ventrolateral medulla and...

Sleep is a vital neurobiological process, yet despite its fundamental significance, delineating the endogenous neural pathways involved has been slow to progress due to a lack of diverse sleep models. Anesthesia, which has direct behavioural parallels to natural sleep, and which is often linked...

The Thalamic Nucleus Reuniens Facilitates Communication Between Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus
DownloadSpring 2022
Decades of research have established that two brain regions, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HPC), have dissociable but critical roles in memory. Often, these roles are co-operative and enable for the richness of episodic remembrances. It has remained relatively elusive,...

Using EEG to examine inhibitory abilities in children: The effects of time pressure, physical activity, and emotion
DownloadFall 2018
The ability to inhibit inappropriate actions and irrelevant information is crucial for adaptive functioning. Inhibitory skills emerge early in life, with significant growth occurring during the period of early and middle childhood. The objective of this dissertation was to utilize...
