Factors Affecting Episodic Memory Development
The present thesis investigated the development of episodic memory through middle and late childhood, and how individual differences in health and lifestyle impact this development. The first study (Chapter 2) explored the developmental patterns of episodic memory including individual content …

An Electrophysiological Investigation of Source Memory Development in Early Childhood
The present study examined source memory development in a sample of 4 and 6 year children. Patterns of brain electrical (EEG) activity were examined in order to provide a neural basis for the role of prefrontal cortex functioning during source monitoring. Children were taught a series of novel …

Parental Caregiving Capacity and Reading, Math, and Working Memory Development During Elementary School
… are negatively associated with young children’s development and can hinder parents’ ability to protect children. Although longitudinal associations between economic hardship and parental mental health are well-studied, how these early family experiences shape children’s developmental trajectories …

Episodic Memory Development in Childhood: Contributions from Brain Electrical Activity and Executive Functions
Episodic memory is a critical component of human cognition. Episodic memory involves recollection of the contextual details surrounding an event, the capacity for mental time travel of past and future events, and is characterized by the subjective awareness that an event has been personally …

Regulation of Effector and Memory Development of Human CD4+ T Cells by Interleukin 12 and Type I Interferon
… induced at the onset of infection regulate the development of adaptive immune responses such as CD4+ T helper cell development. For instance, the innate cytokines interleukin 12 (IL-12) and type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) are produced in response to intracellular bacterial and viral …

The effect of culture and self-construal on memory development: Mother-child conversations in Eastern Turkey, Western Turkey and the United States
… pairs) participated in a study of mother-child memory talk, self-construal and parenting goals. Mother-child pairs were audio-recorded while drawing pictures and talking about shared past and anticipated future events. Mothers completed Balanced Integration-Differentiation questionnaires and …

Modulation of CD8+ T Cell Function by Beta2-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling
… More importantly, its effect on CD8+ T cell memory development remains elusive. Therefore, I comprehensively addressed the role of ADRB2 signaling on different aspects of CD8+ T cell function. In the current body of work I demonstrate that intrinsic ADRB2 signaling downregulates CD8+ T cell …

"I remember when you taught me that!" Developmental and gender differences in children's episodic memories of learning events during the early school years
… (1994) task, indicating a more nuanced view of memory development. Implications for educators and for theories of memory development are discussed.</p>

Influence of the potency of antigen presentation on CD8+ T cell differentiation and memory
… influence of the potency of stimulation on the development of CD8+ T cell memory is not clear. Using recombinant Ovalbumin (OVA) expressing intracellular bacteria, Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) which induces muted T cell activation, and Listeria monocytogenes (LM) which induces massive T cell …

Early Development of Auditory-Verbal and Visual-Spatial Short-Term Memory: Age and Sex Effects
Memory is a multi-component cognitive ability to retain and retrieve information presented in different modalities. Research on memory development has shown that the memory capacity and the processes improve gradually from early childhood to adolescence. Findings related to the sex-differences in …

Using Space to Remember Time
… personally relevant events. In early childhood, memory for the temporal order of events tends to be weaker than memory for the location of those events. A potential solution to this challenge is to engage the mental timeline, a linear projection of time onto space. Although adults and older …

PERSISTENT ACTIVITY DURING WORKING MEMORY: MATURATION AND CORTICAL SPECIALIZATION
Working memory is one of the most critical cognitive functions and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) has generally been recognized as the seat of working memory. Development of working memory ability through adolescence, accompanied by structural changes has been reported in human studies, …

POSEIDON: The First Safe and Scalable Persistent Memory Allocator
With the advent of byte-addressable Non-Volatile Memory (NVMM), the need for a safe, scalable and high-performing memory allocator is inevitable. A slow memory allocator can bottleneck the entire application stack, while an unsecure memory allocator can render underlying systems and applications …

Regulation of Anti-Viral Cd8+ T Cell Responses by the Pd-1 Pathway
… unclear how PD-1 pathway signals shape the development and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cell responses following acutely-resolved infection or exhausted CD8+ T cell responses following chronic infection. Absence of PD-1 results in early over-activation, excessive proliferation and diminished …

Type I Interferon Signaling Pathway May Be Involved in Optimal Interleukin-2 Production in CD4+ T Cells
… alpha (IFN-α) promotes human T helper 1 memory development by positively regulating interleukin-2 (IL-2) expression, a hallmark cytokine of central memory CD4⁺ T cells. The present work seeks to delineate how signaling through the interferon alpha/beta receptor promotes IL-2 secretion in …

A novel developmental rodent model to investigate the neural basis of episodic memory
Episodic memory is the recollection of unique autobiographical events, including rich detail of times, places and associated contextual information. In neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, episodic memory is greatly impaired. The ability to recall episodic memories is thought to …

Development and characterisation of a novel chimeric antigen receptor against LGR5
… promising therapeutic target and has spurred the development of a range of LGR5-targeting immunotherapeutics. In this thesis, I report the generation, characterisation and preclinical validation of novel 2nd generation LGR5scFv-Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) NK and CD8 T cells using flow …

A six-year longitudinal study of the differential effects of abuse and neglect on executive functioning and emotion regulation
… is a time period that is critical for the development of self-regulation, as it is when the prefrontal cortex is actively developing. Existing research demonstrates the numerous adverse effects maltreatment may have on self-regulation, which encompasses executive function and emotion …

Remembering 1989: Post-Communist Commemorations in Berlin and Warsaw
… Poland since 1989 have become lands of contested memory, as reflected by their attempts to commemorate the series of reforms that led to the end of their Communist regimes. This study is an attempt to analyze the various modes of commemoration dedicated to the transition from communism that have …
