Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting a range of cognitive faculties, for which there is currently no treatment, save for ameliorative strategies. This disease primarily affects the elderly, and is the leading cause of dementia among this group. Out of an estimated 5.4 million Americans with AD this year, 5.2 million are over the age of 65. With the amount of people aged 65 and older increasing as the Baby Boomer generation ages, AD will become an increasingly dire burden. As we face this growing issue, research into both its causes and more sensitive and accurate diagnostic …

Crafting Character Through Emotion And Reason, Aliene Dalton
Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
This thesis follows a reproduction of Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric in hopes of assisting undergraduate students of Creative Writing majors. Its model will cast types and utility of reasoning alongside respective emotions in an episodic debate under the same methodology of Aristotle, enthymeme1 and example2, and the emotions of Aristotle's study will be organized by the system of reason they produce, practical, imperfect, or perfect. I have selected this method for, although Aristotle's work studies the various elements which constitute components of emotion, his work is without a cyclic theory of emotions' interconnection.
The advantage of reproducing Aristotle's rhetoric …

Anatomy Of The Concussion: More Serious Than Meets The Eye?, Chelsea Frost
Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
Sports-related concussions have unique features that distinguish them from those mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI’s) caused by other mechanisms. Sports-related MTBI’s may result from relatively lower-velocity impacts as compared with high-speed motor vehicle collisions, and are thought to cause different neurophysiologic injury. A survey of youth coaches revealed 42% believed a concussion only occurs when an athlete loses consciousness, and 25% would allow the athlete to return to play despite showing symptoms of concussion. Concussions occur not only in youth sports but also at the collegiate and professional levels. It is believed that, post-concussion, an athlete has diminished reaction time, …

Cognitive Performance And Diagnosis Threat, Robert D. Salazar
Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
This study of the diagnosis threat involved a detailed review of the background principles, theories, and research established in stereotype threat and diagnosis threat literature. This paper is constructed upon the premise that non-neuropsychological factors can influence behavior within neuropsychological assessment and subsequently impact results. Further detriment can arise when medical professionals errantly view neuropsychological assessments as a direct measure of brain function instead of recognizing their true function as a behavioral assessment. The main goal of this paper is to highlight how non-neuropsychological factors, primarily the diagnosis threat, can affect neuropsychological assessment and attempt to provide an alternative explanation …

Dendritic Alterations In A Tauopathy Rat Model Of Alzheimer’S Disease Using Pp2a Inhibition, Sean Verma, Khalid Iqbal, Ronald F. Mervis
Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
PP2A is protein phosphatase-2A. Inhibition of PP2A (by PP2A inhibitors 1 and 2) results in hyperphosphorylation and accumulation of tau protein. Hyperphosphorylated tau is a major component of neurofibrillary tangles – a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Hence PP2A inhibition represents a putative new approach for a rodent model of AD. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of PP2A inhibition on dendritic branching in cortical pyramids in rats that wereinjected ICV with an adeno- associated virus for expression of: (1) Inhibitor 1 full length (I1 FL) (2) Inhibitor 2 full length (I2 FL) (3) Inhibitor …

Secondary Metabolites From Antarctic Marine Invertebrates And Their Potential As Drug Leads, Samantha Landolfa
Honors Thesis and Capstone Projects
The Antarctic region is of particular interest to natural products chemists because it remains relatively unexplored and possesses a wealth of unique biodiversity. Organisms that thrive in this region must produce different chemical defenses to survive in the harsh polar environment, making their secondary metabolites original and potentially useful as drugs for human disease. These compounds often have very complex structures, making their syntheses difficult and impractical. With this knowledge, five Antarctic marine invertebrates were extracted in search of their secondary metabolites. The chemical isolation studies were performed by macroorganism solvent extraction followed by chromatographic separation and purification of metabolites …
