The Effects of Amphetamine Exposure on Neurodevelopment and Behavior in Early Life Stages of Danio Rerio
… amphetamine exposure impacts the development of stereotyped behaviors and the neural circuit that governs these behaviors. The zebrafish (<em>Danio rerio</em>) was used as our model organism because of the extensively studied developmental milestones these fish provide. Using escape responses as …

Mechanisms of Olfactory Plasticity in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… With a well-characterized nervous system, stereotyped behaviors, and an armory of molecular and genetic tools, C. elegans is well-suited for the study of experience-dependent plasticity. Using an olfactory adaptation paradigm in which animals lose attraction to butanone after it is paired …

Relationship between problem behaviors, function, and adaptive skills in individuals with intellectual disabilities
The problem behaviors of self-injury, aggression, and stereotypies are among the most troubling and difficult to treat behaviors in individuals with intellectual disability (ID). One factor that has been implicated in the etiology and maintenance of problem behaviors in individuals with ID is …
