Applications of jump processes in epidemiology and neuroscience
… of jump processes in epidemiology and neuroscience. A jump process is a stochastic process that models the occurrence of discrete events over time. In epidemiology, the events correspond to catching an infection, recovering from a disease, etc. In neuroscience, the spike train of a …

Inference of functional neural connectivity and convergence acceleration methods
… of the maps of neuronal interactions is key for system neuroscience, but at the moment we possess relatively little of it . The recent development of experimental methods which allow a simultaneous recording of the spiking activity, but not the intracellular voltage, of thousands of neurons gives …

Age-changes of the Neuronal Component of Meissner Corpuscles in the Mouse Digital Pad
<p>Silver impregnated sections of mouse digital pads were studied using light microscopy to detect age-related changes of the neuronal component of Meissner corpuscles. Direct microscopic observation, photomicrographs and camera lucida tracing were utilized. From qualitative observation, the …

Identification of Actin Binding Proteins Associated with Cross-Linked Actin Networks
… Networks. Master of Science (Pharmacology and Neuroscience), December 2006, 95 pp., 9 tables, 16 figures, references, 122 titles. Glucocorticoid therapy can leady to ocular hypertension and glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to examine mechanisms contributing to increased intraocular …

Effects of Exposure to Perinatal Ultrasound Radiation on Information Processing in the Auditory System
… Rats have a well characterized central nervous system whose neurochemical pathways and neuronal electrophysiology qualitatively correspond to those of humans. Because of this, we opted to use Wistar rats as an animal model to document effects from ultrasound exposure. We exposed one group of …

Effect of Age on the Structure of Meissner Corpuscles in Forepad Digital Pads of Mice
<p>Meissner corpuscles in forepaw digital pads of albino mice were examined by light and electron microscopy to determine structural age-changes. After 1.5 months of age, no intraepidermal nerve fibers were seen extending from corpuscles. From young (1.5-6 months) to middle age (9-15 months), …

The Role of Nogo-A During Development of the Chick Central Nervous System
… oligodendrocytes of the adult central nervous system (CNS). However, neuronal expression of Nogo-A during development suggests an additional role. Little is known about the putative functions of Nogo-A during embryonic development. To examine its potential role we isolated and analyzed the …

The Role of a Membrane Androgen Receptron in the Brain
Gatson, Joshua Wayne, The Role of a Membrane Androgen Receptor in the Brain. Doctor of Philosophy (Biomedical Sciences), February 2007, pp187, 34 illustrations. In the brain, depending on the insult type, androgens have been shown to protect from or exacerbate the levels of cell death. This …

A computational and experimental study of the Drosophila larval locomotor system and its developmental critical period
Critical periods of nervous system development are phases of heightened plasticity during which neuronal network dynamics is adjusted through activity-regulated plasticity mechanisms. Because plasticity is elevated, these phases are also vulnerable, such that disturbances during this highly plastic …
