Enduring Effects of Early Life Inflammation on Stress-related Microglial, Neuronal and Behavioral phenotypes
… the neuroinflammation and heightened anxiety phenotypes found previously also remains to be elucidated. The aims of this thesis were to 1) characterize immediate and persistent phenotypes resulting from the combined and independent effects of mHFD and neonatal lipopolysaccharide (nLPS) …

Social interactions and the prisoner's dilemma game: new measures of cognitive and behavioral phenotypes
… individual thoughts, motivations and traits; and behavioral economics and game theory focuses on behavioral tasks. This project integrated these approaches by validating a game-theoretic task for children, the Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma (RPD), and demonstrated how it can be used to elucidate the …

Neurobiological and Behavioral Phenotypes and Cocaine Self-Administration in Adult Rhesus Monkeys Exposed to Cocaine Throughout Gestation
Maternal cocaine addiction is a significant public health problem yet

Consequences of avian parental incubation behavior for within-clutch variance in incubation temperature and offspring behavioral phenotypes
… (i.e., >1C) to lead to different offspring phenotypes within broods (Chapter 2). Then, in a series of experiments in which I controlled incubation temperature, I provided evidence that lower average incubation temperatures lead to a reduced ability of ducklings to exit the nest cavity …

Evolution of primate cuboid form and the application of learning methods to the analysis of morphological and behavioral phenotypes
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2024-03-01 without embargo terms

Matching Educational Interventions to Behavioral Phenotypes: Spatial Temporal Math as a Mathematics Achievement Intervention for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
… models, much is now known about the language, behavioral, and cognitive difficulties associated with ASDs. However, autism research would benefit from further delineation of the differences between ASD types through the development of behavioral phenotypes. Behavioral phenotypes are expressions …

The role of IL-17a in the rescue of ASD-like behavioral phenotypes following immune stimulation in a mouse model of neurodevelopmental disorders
… temporary but significant improvement of their behavioral symptoms during episodes of fever. Fever is an increase body temperature that is typically the product of the immune response mounted in order to fight infection. Investigation into the curious connection between fever and the …

Proximal Causes of Dispersal in Yellow-Bellied Marmots.
… of adult-yearling interaction, and individual behavioral phenotypes, on dispersal of yearling yellow-bellied marmots was investigated. Two marmot colonies near Gothic, Colorado were studied; one was treated as an experimental colony from which all adults were removed, the second as a control …

Genetic and Endocrine Contributions to Behavior and Cognition in a Working Dog Population
… to explore the relationships between cognitive & behavioral phenotypes and genetic & hormonal variation in a working dog population. The primary phenotypic measures, from the Dog Cognitive Development Battery (DCDB), include a large number of diverse tasks designed to assess a variety of cognitive …

Chromosomal assembly and comparative analysis of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) genome
… over the past several decades to exhibit extreme behavioral phenotypes. The population consists of a strain of hyper-aggressive foxes and a strain of hyper-docile foxes, offering a model system through which the genetic underpinnings of behavior, as well as the genetic correlates of domestication, …

Anxiety in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Behavioural Phenotypes and Environmental Factors
… literature. This study sought to differentiate behavioral phenotypes associated with anxiety in children with ASD from anxiety in typically-developing children. Participants completed a series of child and parent reports measuring anxiety, depressive symptoms, ASD symptom severity, emotional …

Molecular Evidence Suggests Multiple Evolutionary Origins of Sociality in the Polyphenic Spider <em>Anelosimus studiosus</em> (Araneae: Theridiidae).
<p><em>Anelosimus studiosus</em> exhibits two behavioral phenotypes: subsocial and social. This is the only documented spider inhabiting a temperate climate exhibiting social behavior. While the subsocial phenotype is most common throughout the range, the social behavior occurs in isolated pockets …

Myelin Gene Expression: Implications for Alcohol Abuse and Dependence
Acute behavioral responses to ethanol have predictive value for determining an individual's risk of long-term drinking behavior. Although the neurobiology of alcohol abuse is complex, prior studies from our laboratory demonstrated differential myelin-associated gene expression (MAGE) in medial …

Red fox genome assembly identifies genomic regions associated with tame and aggressive behaviors
… red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with markedly different behavioral phenotypes have been developed in the famous long-term selective breeding program known as the Russian farm-fox experiment. Here we sequenced and assembled the red fox genome and re-sequenced a subset of foxes from the tame, aggressive, …

Working Memory in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Trauma Cue Reactivity
… disorder involves a constellation of neural and behavioral alterations in response to trauma exposure. Aside from symptoms involved in posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis, patients frequently present with working memory impairments. Working memory training has been established as an effective …

Semantic and pragmatic language development in typical acquisition, autism spectrum disorders, and Williams syndrome with reference to developmental neurogenetics of the latter
… language proceeds from identification of precise behavioral phenotypes to investigation of the underlying genes. The human behavioral parts of this dissertation focus on understanding the reasons for children's overuse of definite article 'the', to refer to one of several objects in a context set, …

INVESTIGATING THE FUNCTIONAL ROLES OF CRF-BINDING PROTEIN HOMOLOGUE IN THE RESPONSE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESSES IN DROSOPHILA
… causes a characteristic set of physiological and behavioral responses in all animals. The mammalian hormone, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), coordinates these stress responses to a variety of different stresses. CRF has three binding partners, including two receptors and a binding protein, …

The Mechanism of Obesity in Rai1+/- Mice
… disturbances, developmental delay, obesity, and behavioral phenotypes. SMS is thought to affect 1:25,000 live births, although due to similar infantile phenotypes with Down syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome, SMS may be mis- or under-diagnosed. In a study of 54 children, it was shown that by age …

Cell Type-Specific Roles of FoxP Transcription Factors in Vocalization and Cognition
… molecular functions with neurophysiological and behavioral phenotypes. Still, much remains unknown about molecular networks in the brain driven by these transcription factors, especially in specific regions and cell types. During my dissertation work, I sought to elucidate FoxP2 and FoxP1 …

Individual sensitivity to novelty and (+)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine: Roles for serotonin and GABA neurotransmission
… in HR vs. LR rats and the phenotype-specific behavioral changes after repeated exposure to the environment. Our findings revealed a strong influence of GABA neurotransmission that may underlie the differences between HR vs. LR behavioral phenotypes. These findings lend support to the idea that …
