Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6) is a substrate widely accepted as necessary for synthesizing very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs), a class of lipids found in high concentrations in the retina. VLC-PUFAs are formed from 28:6 derived in the omega-3 fatty acid pathway involving eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6) by a series of reactions catalyzed by the elongase ELOVL4 within the inner segments of the photoreceptor cells (PRCs). VLC-PUFAs are precursors to elovanoids (ELVs), which have been indicated to maintain homeostasis in the retina in response to inflammation and uncompensated oxidative stress (UOS). During these conditions, elovanoids are …

Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Background: In the United States, stroke is the sixth leading cause of death, and a major cause of long-term disability. Ischemic stroke elicits a cascade of immune and neuroinflammatory responses that form an ischemic core and surrounding area (penumbra) which can be salvaged upon reperfusion within a limited period of time. Reperfusion signals the release of an essential omega-3 fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from injured neuronal cell membranes. DHA is converted into its derivatives, Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) via 15- lypoxygenase and Resolvin D1 (RvD1) via 15- and 5-lypoxygenase. These docosanoid lipid mediators have been shown to improve neurologic outcomes …

Investigating Gene-Environment Interaction In A Double-Hit Model For Autism Spectrum Disorder, Melvin Maroon
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
With the exponential advancements seen in the field of sequencing technology, the science community has come to identify hundreds of potential genetic risk factors for neuropsychiatric disorders. Despite our knowledge that such risk factors exist, we have yet to understand their specific influences on the behavioral profile of an individual. In addition, maternal infection during pregnancy can have longstanding detrimental outcomes on a child’s development. This is especially impactful with the present threat of viral infection during the pandemic. Our study aims to understand the influence of a specific genetic and environmental factor on a preclinical rodent model’s behavioral development. …

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a serious public health concern that can result in significant neurological and behavioral deficit. mTBI results from impact to the head and can be repetitive in nature, especially in sports and domestic violence cases. Our laboratory studies the effects of repetitive mTBI on risky choice behavior in rodents using a closed-head controlled cortical impact (CH-CCI) model of injury and a well-established probabilistic discounting task that assesses risk-based decision-making behavior. We have recently found that females, but not males, display transient increases in risky choice behavior following three CH-CI’s delivered at 5.5m/s velocity and 2.5 …

In light of the increasing rates of opioid abuse in the US, the search for viable medications to treat opioid abuse disorder (OUD) has become ever more urgent. Opioids exert their abuse-related effects in part by indirectly increasing dopamine (DA) neurotransmission in the mesolimbic system, a dopaminergic projection arising in the ventral tegmental area and terminating in the nucleus accumbens. The DA D3 receptor (D3R), which belongs to the D2 family of dopamine receptors (D2, D3 , D4 receptor subtypes), is highly expressed in these brain regions and has shown strong potential as a pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of …

Social behavior is inextricably linked to human health, shaping both our susceptibility and resilience to disease and stress. Positive interactions as simple as maternal contact or friendships among children and adults can protect against emotional distress and improve treatment outcomes, whereas negative interactions such as abuse, social isolation, or bullying can increase aggression and precipitate mood disorders. Discovering the structure and function of neural circuits underlying social behavior is critical to understanding the link between social interaction and health. The neuropeptide vasopressin has been implicated in the regulation of multiple social interactions including social memory, aggression, mating, pair-bonding, and parental …

We are going to explain our three experiences we had with RKids: what information we talked about (the 4 lobes and 5 senses, optical illusions, and memory), how well they understood the concepts, how much they enjoyed learning, what we thought was the most effective method for teaching them Neuroscience at a young age, what tools and supplies we used, if their Kahoot! answers improved over time, etc. We want to see if our methods got them further intrigued into the science field.
Domestic Violence In The World Of Athletics, Abbigayle L. Gesler
Domestic Violence In The World Of Athletics, Abbigayle L. Gesler
ONU Student Research Colloquium
There is an ongoing debate whether athletics is linked to domestic violence in professional athletes or individuals who were athletes for a long period of time. The purpose of this research is to see if being an athlete leads to domestic violence, and if so, to find ways to decrease the numbers. Professional athletes with a history of domestic violence will be researched and this could help determine if there is a link between the two. To get an idea on aggression levels in athletes, the Buss & Perry Survey was sent out via email to all Ohio Northern students, …
