Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Tissue Oxygenation in Awake, Behaving Mice
Brain arterioles respond to local neural activity by altering regional blood flow patterns in a manner which optimizes oxygen supply to respiring cells (‘functional hyperemia’). Recent studies of functional hyperemia in awake rodents shows a bimodal arteriole diameter increase when neural activity …

EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT STRUCTURAL PLASTICITY IN A NATURALLY BEHAVING ANIMAL MODEL
The ability to adjust to changing environments is critical for an animal's survival. Neurons can undergo structural changes, such as branch addition, branch retraction, or altering the number or shape of spines which change the neural connectivity in the brain. The regulation of a neuron's …

The hypothalamic-hypophysial-gonadal axis in the freely behaving male rat
It is a generally accepted finding that pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in the male rat is orchestrated by hypothalamic release of luteinizing hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH). A consequence of both its anatomical predicament and its rapid half-life, is that LHRH is largely …

Innovating by Behaving: How to Adopt the Startup Culture in Large Companies
Increasingly, large company leaders want their organizations to act like startups! They want to take action against the threat of disruption by startups. They see many industries disrupted by startups, as evident by the rise of Airbnb and SpaceX. Rather than waiting to be disrupted, business …

The Phenomenology of Role Play: Are Children “Thinking-As-If” or “Behaving-As-If”?
… of the character they are pretending to be – or “behaving-as-if”. In two studies, I attempted to obtain better evidence that children “think-as-if” while role playing. To do this, I developed a novel paradigm called the Pretend Self-recognition (PSR) task that examines how children refer to …

The adaptive benefits of adult structural plasticity in the mushroom bodies of freely behaving forager honey bees
The mushroom bodies (MBs) are insect brain regions associated with sensory integration and learning. The dendrites of the intrinsic MB neurons (the Kenyon cells) are in the calycal neuropil, where they receive input from primary sensory neuropils. The calyces are larger in older forager honey bees …

Detection power, temporal response, and spatial resolution of IRON fMRI in awake, behaving monkeys at 3 Tesla
… of IRON contrast for fMRI within the awake, behaving monkey. Understanding these issues provides insights into the physiology of the functional response to local changes in brain activity, enables researchers to optimize experimental designs, and delineates the advantages and limitations of …

Standardizing a freely-behaving canine videofluoroscopic swallow study protocol to investigate dysphagia in primary aging and neurological diseases
… The goal of this study was to establish a freely-behaving videofluoroscopic swallow study protocol (VFSS) for dogs that permits identification of translational biomarkers of dysphagia in primary aging and neurological disease conditions. A VFSS protocol was established using 49 dogs, divided into …

Behaving Collaboratively and Getting Along: A Classical Grounded Theory of Certified Nurse Midwives Collaborating With Physicians in U.S. Hospitals
… of the current study is the discovery of the behaving collaboratively basic social process. This basic social process with its subcategories of holding, adjusting, and releasing fits the real life experiences of certified nurse midwives who work with physicians in U.S. hospitals. Certified …

Impact of Acute Ethanol Injections on Medial Prefrontal Cortex Neural Activity
… EtOH injections on mPFC neural activity in awake-behaving rodents. We utilized three groups: the first group received 2 saline injections during the recording. The second group received a saline injection followed 30 minutes later by a 1.0 g/kg EtOH injection. The last group received a saline …

Exploring the implicate order in public organizations: the complementarity of Bowen theory and chaos theory
… behaves or evolves in isolation. Rather, acting, behaving and evolving can only occur through mutual interaction with other entities (Briggs and Peat 1989). Concomitantly, any managerial theory of action consistent with chaos theory must be grounded in the concept of mutual, not linear, causality. …

Emerging Auditory Selectivity in the Caudomedial Neostriatum of the Zebra Finch Songbird
… recording multiunit neuronal responses in awake, behaving zebra finch songbirds, I have demonstrated that the caudomedial neostriatum (NCM), a telencephalic nucleus in the ascending auditory pathway, exhibits responses that range from unselective to highly selective for species-specific stimuli. …
