Acute Exercise And Its Effect On Cognitive Performance In Sleep Deprived Individuals: A Review Of Literature., Jennifer Nicole Miller
Acute Exercise And Its Effect On Cognitive Performance In Sleep Deprived Individuals: A Review Of Literature., Jennifer Nicole Miller
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This literature review observes seven different studies that researched the effects of exercise on some measure of cognitive or psychological performance when sleep deprived. The purpose of this review is to consolidate the results of various exercise protocols on the effects of sleep deprivation to make a general conclusion regarding the effect on cognition. This will give insight into the future of research regarding how exercise may combat performance decrements seen when sleep deprived. There are several inconsistencies among current research concerning exercise and sleep deprivation; a standard needs to be created so the results of these studies can be …
Effects Of Microgravity On Mucin Production In The Urinary Bladder In Mice., Brandon Farmer
Effects Of Microgravity On Mucin Production In The Urinary Bladder In Mice., Brandon Farmer
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The effects of the microgravity of spaceflight are largely unexplored with regard to biological tissues. One particular area of interest is the possible effects microgravity could have on the production of mucins. To determine the possible effects of microgravity on mucin production in the urinary bladder, we examined the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder from female mice that were flown on the space shuttle Endeavour for 12 days in August, 2007. The flight tissue was compared to tissues from two control groups of animals, ground control and baseline. This study utilized three sets of female mice, with each set …
