Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of Intellectual Disability, affecting 1 in 4000 boys and 1 in 6000 girls. Work in our lab using Drosophila melanogaster and since replicated in the mouse model has shown that excess protein synthesis is a major mechanism connecting the...

Mild therapeutic hypothermia (HYPO), decreasing brain temperature to 32-35°C, is the gold standard neuroprotectant against ischemia. Cooling also ameliorates several cell death mechanisms in other types of brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury). As with many other neuroprotectants, HYPO not...

Where electrical stimulation is delivered affects how contractions are generated in the tibialis anterior muscle
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate how motor units in tibialis anterior (TA) were recruited when electrical stimulation was applied over the TA muscle belly versus the common peroneal nerve trunk. The data from the first study (Chapter 2) showed that contractions were...
