Semester Schedule For Cognitive And Behavioral Neuroscience, Megan V. Caldwell Apr 2021

Semester Schedule For Cognitive And Behavioral Neuroscience, Megan V. Caldwell

Open Educational Resources

This course schedule has been created for an asynchronous 15-week, 4 credit Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience course. It is a comprehensive schedule including a week-by-week breakdown of lecture topics, reading material, assignments, and exam schedule. The course covers topics related to cognition and neuroscience including the action potential, neurotransmitters, cell gradients, sensation (vision, hearing, and pain/somatosensation), neuroplasticity, memory, and movement systems. The schedule is intended to be accompanied by a syllabus.

How The Amino Acid L-Serine Provides Neuroprotection Against L-Bmaa Induced Alzheimer’S Disease, Joseph Cimino Jan 2021

How The Amino Acid L-Serine Provides Neuroprotection Against L-Bmaa Induced Alzheimer’S Disease, Joseph Cimino

Capstone Showcase

More than 6 million people in America are living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and there are currently no cures or treatments. It is time to move on from the ꞵ-amyloid hypothesis and broaden AD research. New research is suggesting that dietary exposure to a cyanobacterial toxin known as L-BMAA is causing neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson’s Disease. L-BMAA is misincorporated during protein folding, in place of the proper amino acid, L-Serine. It has been shown that the naturally occurring amino acid, L-Serine, can provide neuroprotection against L-BMAA, but the mechanism by which L-Serine infers …

Carbon Dioxide Attracts Nesting Behavior In Captive African Naked Mole-Rats, Dan Mccloskey Feb 2020

Carbon Dioxide Attracts Nesting Behavior In Captive African Naked Mole-Rats, Dan Mccloskey

Publications and Research

This dataset contains raw Radio Frequency Identification data for a 185 hour gas infusion study conducted in the TT-2 colony at the College of Staten Island in May-June 2019. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether colony members would be attracted to a chamber with elevated carbon dioxide levels matching the highest values recorded in the typical colony nest. The results show a significant attraction to the CO2-infused chamber during and after the period of CO2 in=fusion, with the relocation of the colony nest to this site for the first time in the history of this colony. These …

Data Collection Curated With An Application Ontology Describes The Methods And Results Upon Performing An Ex-Vivo Voltage-Clamp Assay On Outer Hair Cells Of The Mammalian Cochlea, Brenda Farrell, Jason Bengtson Jan 2019

Data Collection Curated With An Application Ontology Describes The Methods And Results Upon Performing An Ex-Vivo Voltage-Clamp Assay On Outer Hair Cells Of The Mammalian Cochlea, Brenda Farrell, Jason Bengtson

Research Data

This data collection describes the electrical properties of outer hair cells isolated from the mammalian cochlea of the domestic guinea pig. This data was obtained by performing whole-cell patch clamp voltage clamp assay on cells and monitoring the electrical admittance during a DC voltage ramp. The membrane capacitance was then calculated at each membrane potential from this admittance, and the voltage-independent and voltage-dependent membrane capacitance was determined upon further analysis. In some case the DC conductance was also measured by interrogation of the cell with voltage-step function which was calculated from the change in the mean steady-state current with respect …

Enhancement Of Synchronization In Inter-Intra-Connected Neuronal Networks, F. M. Moukam Kakmeni, V. M. Nguemaha Jan 2016

Enhancement Of Synchronization In Inter-Intra-Connected Neuronal Networks, F. M. Moukam Kakmeni, V. M. Nguemaha

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

We study the enhancement of neural synchrony in a network of electrically coupled Hindmarsh Rose (HR) neurons. The behavior of the network under control by an external environment modeled by the Fitzhugh Nagumo (FN) is analyzed. Biologically, such a control system could mimic the modification of normal neuronal dynamics due to drugs or other chemical substances. We show that the environment could have as effect the suppression of chaos, enhancement of synchrony and favor interesting properties such as sub-threshold membrane oscillations, and oscillation death for relatively strong local coupling. Interestingly, we find that the electrical coupling between each two coupled …

Calciumsignalextract: A Matlab Gui To Automatically Extract The Activity Of Multiple Cells From Calcium Imaging Data, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh Jan 2015

Calciumsignalextract: A Matlab Gui To Automatically Extract The Activity Of Multiple Cells From Calcium Imaging Data, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh

Gilbert Laboratory

A Matlab GUI that automatically segments fluorescence image stacks into ROIs based on differential morphology and fluorescence activity of the individual cells. The time course data of each ROI gets extracted and plotted. External data from behavioral experiments and sensory stimuli can be integrated to compare for task and stimulus dependent neuronal events

Meyer Navigator: User Scanimage Functions To Show X/Y Positions Of The Stage/Objective In A Coordinate System, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh Jan 2013

Meyer Navigator: User Scanimage Functions To Show X/Y Positions Of The Stage/Objective In A Coordinate System, Stephan Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh

Gilbert Laboratory

These Matlab functions extend Janelia Farms' ScanImage microscope control software. The functions allow the user to view, mark and track positions of the motor stage/objective in x, y, and z, which get displayed in a separate window. This helps to keep track of the stage movements, regions of interest and makes it easy to document areas imaged and map out the specimen being investigated. For detailed information about the functionality as well as installation, view the included manual file.
