Morphological and Neuroanatomical Changes Associated with the Induction of Neurodegeneration and Life Span Reduction in Drosophila melanogaster by Glia Targeted Expression of Cdh1/Rap/Fzr, An Activator of the Anaphase Promoting Complex
… were used to analyze the morphological and neuroanatomical changes associated with glia specific over expression of Rap/Fzr in the Drosophila central nervous system. One week old adult Drosophila brains were first fixed in a primary fixative containing 0.2M sodium cacodylate buffer, pH 7.2, …

Development of the adolescent prefrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala and the effects of puberty and alcohol exposure
… period. Using the rat as a model of these changes, our laboratory has previously found that both of these structures show a decreasein the number of neuronsbetween postnatal day (P) 35 and P90, the equivalent adolescent period in the rat(Markham et al, 2007; Rubinow and Juraska, 2009). The …

Identifying phenotypic change across time in mouse models of Down syndrome
… manipulation to correlate cellular and molecular changes with behavior, in a way that is not possible with human studies alone. These models have been a critical component in understanding the underlying mechanism of the intellectual disability in people with Down syndrome. The Ts(1716)65Dn …

Effects of Trauma Induced Stress on Attention, Executive Functioning, Processing Speed, and Resilience in Urban Children
… to differential performance in school. Due to neuroanatomical changes secondary to the stress response, children who have experienced stress as a result of poverty and traumatic events may be at increased risk for cognitive difficulties, including attention, executive functioning, and …

Neuroanatomical differences in adults and children who stutter: a voxel-based morphometry study
… to fluent controls. However, a comparison of neuroanatomical differences between adult group and children group has not been reported in the literature. The current study examined neuroanatomical differences in groups of adults and groups of children separately. This study reported on the …

Informatics Strategies for Alzheimer’s Disease Research Through Analyzing Genetics and Neuroimaging Data
… of causal pathways linking genetic variants to neuroanatomical changes and clinical outcomes. In this dissertation, we integrate brain imaging genomics data to create a genetically informed brain atlas for enhancing the discovery power for brain imaging genomics studies. With the development of …

Stress and Hippocampal Plasticity
… Repeated restraint stress is known to induce neuroanatomical changes in the hippocampus, such as dendritic remodeling in CA3 neurons and mossy fiber terminal rearrangement, and these alterations are reversible, suggesting that the hippocampal system experiences a certain degree of plasticity …

Investigating the relationship between cognitive control and speech-in-noise recognition in tinnitus from perceptual, neuroanatomical, and electrophysiological aspects
… controls, however, they still demonstrated neuroanatomical changes and neural alterations pertaining to cognitive control; and 3) individuals with tinnitus may use different cognitive control strategies relative to hearing-matched controls to maintain their performance of daily tasks. …

The role of puberty in the development of the adolescent rodent medial prefrontal cortex and behavior
… as a period of vulnerability. A wide array of neuroanatomical maturation occurs during adolescence as well, suggesting that the adolescent cortex is increasingly plastic. One of the most notable of these changes is the development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region involved in …

Arbitrary associative memory: a candidate cognitive endophenotype for probable Alzheimer's disease
… neuropathological, metabolic, and structural changes have begun. According to this theory, while brain functional and structural changes might be present in middle age in people at risk of developing the disease, cognitive abnormalities emerge only when a “threshold” of neurodegeneration has …
