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...

The Effects of a Western Diet on Stroke Severity and Functional Outcome Following Global Ischemia in Rats
DownloadFall 2009
The present thesis investigated the effects of a western diet (WD) on cell death and functional outcome following global ischemia in rats. Experiment 1 assessed the effects of a 60-day WD regimen on temperature, activity and glucose levels in normal rats. Experiment 2 evaluated the influence of a...
