Apathy And Striatal Gray Matter Patterns In Schizophrenia And Huntington’S Disease, Gabriel Martinez, Skylar Walters, J S. Paulsen, Vince Calhoun, Jessica Turner Jan 2021

Apathy And Striatal Gray Matter Patterns In Schizophrenia And Huntington’S Disease, Gabriel Martinez, Skylar Walters, J S. Paulsen, Vince Calhoun, Jessica Turner

Neuroscience Institute Faculty Publications

Apathy is a symptom of many neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Huntington's disease and schizophrenia. Apathy is often conceptualized as a combination of three domains, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional, characterized by impaired goal-directed behavior. The striatum has been shown to be significantly associated with executive functions and planned motor behavior via projection to the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Due to its connection to the PFC and its involvement in the basal ganglia motor circuit, the striatum is thought to be a significant part of the circuit that controls goal-directed behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship …


Analysis Of The Genetic And Neurological Components Of Opioid Addiction, With Public Health Perspectives Of The Opioid Epidemic In The United States Of America, Janhavi A. Dubhashi Jan 2019

Analysis Of The Genetic And Neurological Components Of Opioid Addiction, With Public Health Perspectives Of The Opioid Epidemic In The United States Of America, Janhavi A. Dubhashi

DISCOVERY: Georgia State Honors College Undergraduate Research Journal

Opioid addiction has reached epidemic levels around the world, with over-prescription of opioid pain relievers being an often-cited reason for the epidemic in the USA. This project looks at opioid addiction from three perspectives: a review of literature dealing with the neural pathways involved in opioid use and addiction; the underlying genetic differences that can increase the risk of opioid use disorder; and an overview of the public health aspects of the epidemic. The paper will conclude with a review of current and new treatments based upon a growing neurobiological and molecular understanding of opioid use disorder.

Neuroscience Institute Faculty Publications

A number of factors have been proposed to influence within and between species variation in handedness in non-human primates. In the initial study, we assessed the influence of grip morphology on hand use for simple reaching in a sample of 564 great apes including 49 orangutans Pongo pygmaeus, 66 gorillas Gorilla gorilla, 354 chimpanzees Pan troglodytes and 95 bonobos Pan paniscus. Overall, we found a significant right hand bias for reaching. We also found a significant effect of the grip morphology of hand use. Grasping with the thumb and index finger was more prevalent in the right compared to left …

Perceptual Decision-Making Difficulty Modulates Feedforward Effective Connectivity To The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, Bidhan Lamichhane, Mukesh Dhamala Sep 2015

Perceptual Decision-Making Difficulty Modulates Feedforward Effective Connectivity To The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, Bidhan Lamichhane, Mukesh Dhamala

Neuroscience Institute Faculty Publications

Diverse cortical structures are known to coordinate activity as a network in relaying and processing of visual information to discriminate visual objects. However, how this discrimination is achieved is still largely unknown. To contribute to answering this question, we used face-house categorization tasks with three levels of noise in face and house images in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments involving thirty-three participants. The behavioral performance error and response time (RT) were correlated with noise in face-house images. We then built dynamical causal models (DCM) of fMRI blood-oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signals from the face and house category-specific regions in …


Cumulative Neurological Factors Associated With Long-Term Outcomes In Adult Survivors Of Childhood Brain Tumors, Tricia Z. King, Sabrina Na Jun 2015

Cumulative Neurological Factors Associated With Long-Term Outcomes In Adult Survivors Of Childhood Brain Tumors, Tricia Z. King, Sabrina Na

Psychology Faculty Publications

Prior research has demonstrated the reliability and validity of the Neurological Predictor Scale (NPS) in relation to childhood brain tumor survivor outcomes; however, its use has not been examined in adult long-term survivors. The current study examines the concurrent validity of the NPS with long-term intellectual and adaptive outcomes in adult survivors of childhood brain tumors relative to individual variables alone. A total of 68 adult survivors of childhood brain tumors (M = 24 years old, SD = 4) almost 16 years post diagnosis (SD = 6) completed intellectual evaluations using the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI). Survivors' adaptive …
