Visualization and Behavioral Testing Of Common Sense Generative Programs
… facilitating the collection of rich human behavioral data on dynamic object tracking. More broadly, the tools developed here provide visualization, debugging capabilities, and configurable synthetic datasets to benchmark future progress in 3D scene understanding. Development of this …

The Impact of Gamma Stimulation on Neurological Phenotypes of Alzheimer's Dementia and Down Syndrome
… levels, prevented cerebral atrophy, and improved behavioral testing performance in mouse models of AD. This thesis work focuses on the translation of this intervention into human patients with AD. Initial pilot studies assessed safety, compliance, entrainment and exploratory clinical outcomes in …

A Behavioral Test Strategy For Board Level Systems
… memory, control and I/O logic. Different testing techniques are needed for each of these components. To test the whole board, these techniques must be integrated into an overall testing strategy for the board. In this thesis, we have applied a behavioral testing scheme to test the board. …

Effects of Febuxostat on Autistic Behaviors and Computational Investigations of Diffusion and Pharmacokinetics
… to 1 in 59 between 2000 and 2014. Patients show behavioral abnormalities in the areas of social interaction, communication, and restrictive and repetitive behaviors. As of now, the exact cause of ASD is unknown and literature points to multiple causes. The work contained within this dissertation …

Development of a chronically implanted microelectrode array for intraneural electrical stimulation for prosthetic sensory feedback
… evaluated using both neurophysiological and behavioral tests. Animal studies have demonstrated single channel implant functionality of up to 129 days. The relative merit of the designs is assessed, and future directions for implant design and behavioral testing are suggested.

The Effect Of Word Sociality On Word Recognition
… words. This study was a corpus-based and behavioral exploration of a new semantic variable - sociality - and used on-line behavioral testing to obtain new word recognition data using the visual and auditory lexical decision tasks. The results consistently demonstrated that sociality is one …

Longitudinal Behavioral Assessment of Neonatal Traumatic Brain Injury
… and infants is a primary cause of cognitive and behavioral problems that can persist through adulthood. In this study, the long-term behavioral effects of neonatal and juvenile TBI (jTBI) were characterized using mice. At an age of post-natal 7 or 10 days, mice underwent moderate or severe closed …

Structure, function and context : the impact of morphometry and ecology on olfactory sensitivity
… efficiency was developed and tested against behavioral measurements of olfactory sensitivity in twelve mammalian species from five orders. Olfactory thresholds were obtained for the first time from two sea otters for seven odorant compounds from various natural sources. Otters were trained …

The Effects of Mild Concussions and Pomegranates on Behavior
… cognitive deficits. This study investigated the behavioral and neuropathological effects of repetitive concussions in mice and the use of dietary supplementation with pomegranate to ameliorate these effects. Adult mice were given dilute pomegranate juice or control water for 1 week, followed by …

Using Gaze Tracking to Tackle Duplicate Questions on Community Based Question Answering Websites: A Case Study of Ifixit
… avenues that use gaze tracking technology and behavioral testing to tackle this problem. Based on prior studies on web search behaviors, we assumed that adding contextual information (snippets) to proposed related questions displayed on the `Ask a Question' page of the CQA website iFixit would …

Septotemporal Variation in Theta Rhythm Dynamics: Effects of Speed and Habituation
… at more temporal hippocampal sites over repeated behavioral testing within a single day that was not observed at septal sites. The results outline a dynamic and distributed pattern of network activity across the septotemporal axis of the hippocampus in relation to locomotor speed and recent past …

Parameters Characterization and Cognitive-Behavioral Effects of Transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation
… electroencephalography (qEEG) and cognitive-behavioral testing by exploring different parameters of stimulation. Based in the findings obtained per experiment, tPCS can be defined as a safe and tolerable technique that modulates the power spectrum of qEEG signals by means of applied …

EXAMINING SEX DIFFERENCES IN NEUROBIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES INDUCED BY CHRONIC INTERMITTENT ETHANOL VAPOR EXPOSURE IN LONG EVANS RATS
… At which point electrophysiological or behavioral testing was conducted. Surprisingly, CIE led to an overall decrease in hippocampal excitability, and this change was largely restricted to the VHC, with a modest increase in excitably in the DHC. CIE led to an increase in anxiety-like …

Of mice and men: can MMP-9 be a biomarker and a potential target for treatment after traumatic brain injury?
… model along with refined surgical techniques and behavioral testing to mimic a precise, graded TBI. Here we compare our EM CCI mouse model of TBI to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the severe human head trauma cases through examining matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which we have shown to be …

Binge Alcohol Effects on the Prefrontal Cortex
… and quantity as well as prefrontal- dependent behavioral tasks following binge alcohol exposure. To assess this, adult male and female Long-Evans rats were assigned to binge or control groups and exposed to ethanol using a well-established 4-day model of alcohol-induced neurodegeneration. Both …

High-Definition Fiber Tracking Study of the Executive Control Network in Blast-Related Traumatic Brain Injury
… Although ECN dysfunction was not apparent via behavioral testing, faster and more accurate task performance related to higher QA and lower tract count and volume in the comparison group, respectively. Spared ECN function, despite anomalous white matter microstructure, could indicate functional …
