Behavioral analysis and protein folding in zebrafish larvae
… behavior of larval zebrafish, the quantitative analysis of its behavior presents potential in bridging behavior and underlying neural control. In Chapter 1, I looked into the escape response behavior in 2D. Combining an objective behavior analysis approach with a simple neurokinematic model, I …

Leptin Action on Dopamine Neurons: Biochemical and Behavioral Analysis
It has been demonstrated that there are brain regions commonly activated by hedonic foods and drugs of abuse, and therefore, potentially common mechanisms underlying behaviors associated with them. Additionally, the metabolic state of an animal can affect drug seeking behavior. The discovery that …

Suspicious or autistic? evaluating responses to a behavioral analysis interview
The Behavioral Analysis Interview (BAI) of the Reid Interrogation technique (Inbau, et al., 2013) consists of 15 questions to identify deception or truthfulness. Research indicates these cues are unreliable and trained officers are no better than chance at detecting deception (Kassin, Meissner & …

Scrap every Sunday: behavioral analysis of a church-centered aluminum recycling program
The methods of applied behavioral science were used in developing and evaluating a program of resource recovery in a number of local Presbyterian churches. Household aluminum scrap was collected and sold to a local recycling center, and the proceeds were contributed to the established 'Halt Hunger' …

Genetic, Morphological, and Behavioral Analysis of the Oklahoma Salamander (Eurycea Tynerensis) in Southwestern Missouri
… and life history mode. Using morphometrics and behavioral trials, I tested two sympatric color morphs for the presence of a cryptic species. I also obtained sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene of 21 salamanders, representing 4 populations. Sympatric color morphs did not differ …

Behavioral Analysis of a Digenetic Trematode Cercaria (Microphallus Turgidus) in Relation to The Microhabitat of Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes Spp.)
… intermediate host. To do so, I established a behavioral ethogram for the cercariae of M. turgidus and compared the behavior of these parasites to the known host behavior. I tested the phototactic, geotactic, and chemical responses of the parasite. When M. turgidus cercariae are placed in a …
