Identifying and Predicting Rat Behavior Using Neural Networks
… between electrophysiological activity in a rat hippocampus and rat behavior may be helpful in studying pathological diseases that corrupt electrical signaling in the hippocampus, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Additionally, having a method to interpret rat behaviors from neural …

Systemic administration of putrescine induces GABA-like behaviors in rats
… systemically administered putrescine to GABA in rat neural tissues has been reported. In this thesis, three experiments were conducted to characterize changes in rat behavior after putrescine administration, and determine if any effects resembled known GABAergic behaviors. Experiments l and 2 …

Engaging in effectiveness: the role of challenge in well-being and welfare
… Concurrently, theories of human well-being and behavior are beginning to play a greater role in animal welfare science. Thus, though the overlap is still limited, the fields of animal welfare and human well-being are converging. To facilitate this integration, I propose engaging in effectiveness …

Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Consequences of Serotonin System Disruption via Early Life Exposure to SSRI Antidepressants
… studies suggest that perinatal SSRI-induced behavioral abnormalities are driven by changes in the serotonin system as well as epigenetic and transcriptomic changes in the developing hippocampus. Studies in humans and experimental animal models shows that perinatal exposure to selective …

Investigation of somatomotor-sympathetic brain circuit abnormalities in two rat models featuring inborn differences in emotional behavior
… features symptoms spanning cognitive, affective, behavioral, and physiological domains. While many of the neural circuit disruptions mediating emotional and cognitive disturbances in depression have been described, far fewer studies have explored neurobiological mechanisms underlying its …
