Stuttering is a developmental speech disorder characterized by prolongations and/or repetitions of speech sounds as well as silent blocks during speech production. It affects about 5% of children and 1% of the general population. Growing evidence shows that white matter connections of the brain...

This thesis examined the effects of long-term inhibition of excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) on the excitability of dorsal horn neurons in defined-medium organotypic slice cultures (DMOTCs). Previous reports suggest that inhibition of EAAT2 may be involved in development of neuropathic...

Sphingomyelin (SM), a sphingolipid that is concentrated in the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane, can interact with cholesterol to form more ordered “raft” domains. The hydrolysis of SM by sphingomyelinase (SMase) generates ceramide and may redistribute cholesterol molecules to other...

Oscillations are a fundamental principle of neural operation, organized into a hierarchy of frequency bands with the dominant rhythm alternating within and across behavioral states. During states of sleep and anesthesia, brain activity in forebrain regions displays two major distinct activity...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Multisensory Integration in Peripersonal Space: an Exploration of the Auditory Attention System
DownloadFall 2012
Neuroscientific investigations of the primate brain point to the presence of multimodal (visual, tactile, auditory) neurons that preferentially code stimuli presented in the space immediately surrounding the body, termed peripersonal space. The activity of these neurons has been shown to...

Exploring Novel Therapies for Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
DownloadSpring 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by neurodegeneration, inflammation and demyelination. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis not only include motor deficits, but also secondary symptoms of pain, depression and anxiety. The purpose of...
