Evaluating the Role of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide on Etiology and Pathogenesis of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
DownloadFall 2014
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or otherwise known as prion diseases are a class of fatal neurodegenerative diseases related to irreversible brain damage. Presently, there is no effective treatment or preventive strategy for this disease because the etiology and biological...

General principles of cerebellar organization: correlating anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in the pigeon vestibulocerebellum
DownloadFall 2009
The cerebellum has historically been implicated solely in motor coordination. However, we now know it is a major associative center for sensory input. For example, the vestibulocerebellum (VbC) receives a large projection from retinal recipient nuclei in the Accessory Optic System and pretectum;...

As the demand for oil and gas resources increases pipeline construction pushes further into the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Consequently, these buried pipelines suffer much harsh environmental and complex loading conditions. Moreover, to increase the transporting efficiency, larger size pipes...

The pairing of implantable micro-electrode arrays with micro-electronic devices allows the observation of neural activity within nervous systems in a more comprehensive and potentially more effective way compared to single electrode recording. State-of-the-art tethered recording systems use...

The roles of Pbx and Meis TALE-class homeodomain transcription factors in vertebrate neural patterning
DownloadFall 2010
One of the major goals of developmental biology is to understand how specialized groups of cells arise from an initially unspecified cell population. The vertebrate hindbrain is transiently segmented along its anterior-posterior axis into lineage-restricted compartments called rhombomeres, making...
