Public Health Theses
Local Public Health programs are at the frontline of Georgia’s struggle to prevent disease, prolong citizens’ lives, and promote health. In recent history it has been observed that both Georgia’s citizens and state government do not completely understand the breadth of the Public Health system and all it beneficiaries. Unfortunately this lack of comprehension about the scope of Public Health programs has lead to a significant decrease in support and funding. This capstone project describes the systematic development of an online educational portal that is a central tool used in the Public Health advocacy campaign in Georgia, “Partner-Up for Public …

The basic unit of any nervous system is the neuron. Therefore, understanding the operation of nervous systems ultimately requires an inventory of their constituent neurons and synaptic connectivity, which form neural circuits. The presence of uniquely identifi able neurons or classes of neurons in many invertebrates has facilitated the construction of cellular-level connectivity diagrams that can be generalized across individuals within a species. Homologous neurons can also be recognized across species. Here we describe NeuronBank.org, a web-based tool that we are developing for cataloging, searching, and analyzing neuronal circuitry within and across species. Information from a single species is represented …
