Effect of dopamine on synchronous neuronal oscillations in the globus pallidus-subthalamic nucleus network
… and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The globus pallidus (GP) – subthalamic nucleus (STN) network has been proposed to form a pacemaker driving regenerative synchronous bursting activity. In order to test whether this activity can be sustained in vitro a 20o parasagittal slice of mouse …

Νευροφαρμακολογία και λειτουργική ανατομία των βασικών γαγγλίων του εγκεφάλου: Πειραματική μελέτη σε επίμυες
… mainly to subtantia nigra zona reticulata and globus pallidus. In subsequent experiments local intracaudate injections of the GABA agonist muscimol or the GABA antagonist picrotoxin in d-amp treated rate also revealed differences between dorsal and ventral striatum, pointing out a complex …

Probabilistic Reconstruction and Comparative Systems Biology of Microbial Metabolism
… annotations. In this context, I next describe GLOBUS, a probabilistic method for genome-wide biochemical annotations. GLOBUS uses Gibbs sampling to calculate probabilities for each possible assignment of genes to metabolic functions based on sequence information and both local and global …

Assessment of Immune System Involvement in Tourette Syndrome
… frontal cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, globus pallidus interior, exterior and putamen. Thirty- two children (14 TS, 7 family control, and 11 non-family control) and thirty-nine adults (11 TS, 14 family control, and 14 non-family control) were studied. Immunofluorescent studies were …

Brain Structure in Older Adult Siblings
… and for caudate relative to putamen and globus pallidus. Strong heritability was observed across callosal regions. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of heritability of brain structure in older adults.</p>

Deep Brain Stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
… centromedian thalamic region (57.1%), anterior globus pallidus internus (GPi; 25.2%) and posterior GPi (15.3%). There was a 40% improvement in the YGTSS total score at 6-mo (P < .001) and 45% at 12-mo (P < .001) without statistical difference between the 3 targets. The registry results mirror …

The role of the lateral spinal nucleus in nociception
… to the hypothalamus and also the lateral globus pallidus. Indeed, the regions found to have the most projections from the LSN were the lateral and medial hypothalamus, with most of those neurons (>80%) possessing the NK-1 receptor. Interestingly, although numbers of retrogradely labelled …

Biomechanical and Neural Factors Associated with Gait Dysfunction and Freezing in People with Parkinson Disease
… In addition, we observed reduced activity in the globus pallidus in people with PD. Finally, PD exhibited consistent positive correlations between a measure of gait function: overground walking velocity) and brain activation such that those with higher brain activity exhibited better gait …

A tuple space implementation for large-scale infrastructures
… developed a tuple space implementation for the Globus Toolkit that can be used by Grid applications as a coordination service. The development of such a service has been quite challenging due to the limitations imposed by XML serialization that have heavily influenced its design. Nevertheless, …

In the business of doing good: Effective return on donation (ROD) mechanisms in philanthropy and impact investing
The Business of Doing Good is not made up of organizations but people. People bring change, substantial change to society as a whole as well as individuals. I was born in India and saw severe injustice that affected me profoundly. I vowed to myself that a day would come and I would do my share to …

Mechanisms of Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease: Evidence from Experimental and Computational Studies
… of multiple single neurons recorded from the globus pallidus externa (GPe) and substantia nigra reticulata (SNr). The second approach was a computational model of the basal ganglia-thalamic network. The output of the model was quantified using an error index that measured the fidelity of …

Development of and proposed applications for tetrodes in functional mapping of rodent sensorimotor striatum
… primary motor cortex. Neuronal activity in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra pars reticulata, output areas of the basal ganglia, is also to be examined over the course of acquisition of the three stimulus-response tasks.

REFRAMING ALGORITHMIC FAIRNESS: A PARADIGM FOR FAIR, ACCURATE, AND FLEXIBLE MODEL DEVELOPMENT
Machine learning increasingly shapes high-stakes decisions, offering benefits like improved efficiency and accuracy—but also raising challenges when systems fail. Unlike human decision-makers, algorithms often lack clear paths for recourse or repair. This dissertation develops algorithmic tools for …
