Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2024
Oral Presentation Honorable Mention
• Dopamine terminal function is associated with motivation
• Fasting activates AMPK, a cellular sensor that measures intracellular AMP relative to ATP
• AMPK activation is a target of interest for age related cognitive decline, prevention of muscle wasting, etc.
• ZMP is an endogenous nucleotide AMP mimetic that activates AMPK
• The present study examined the novel precursor ZMP compound called P39 using an ex vivo mouse model

Status Epilepticus (SE) is a severe medical condition marked by continuous seizures lasting over 5 minutes. When SE becomes resistant to anticonvulsant drugs, the condition is known as Refractory Status Epilepticus (RSE), which lacks effective treatments and has a mortality rate of 38%. RSE lacks effective treatments partially due to our limited understanding of the mechanisms that lead to patient antiepileptic drug resistance.
Ivermectin Activates Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons To Enhance Dopamine Release, Tyler Love, Jordan Yorgason, Hillary Wadsworth, Alicia Warnecke, Joshua Barlow, Emma Steimle, Joakim Ronström, Pacen Williams, Christopher Galbraith, Jared Baldridge, Michael Jakowec, Daryl Davies

• The substantia nigra compacta releases dopamine into the dorsal striatum, a brain region associated with movement and motivation
• Cholinergic interneurons in the dorsal striatum can directly cause dopamine release
• IVM is a known positive allosteric modulator of P2X4 receptors as well as nicotinic
• acetylcholine receptors
• Ivermectin is known to affect many dopamine linked behaviors, but no studies have been conducted to determine if Ivermectin is able to modulate dopamine release

▪ Dopamine release in the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) underlies motivational behavior for methamphetamine (METH) reward.
▪ ATP is a chemoattractant to microglia and is METH on ATP release and clearance are unknown.
▪ Furthermore, METH is known to produce reactive dopamine terminal function, microglia morphology and METH interactions are unknown.

• Women escalate psychostimulant abuse more quickly than men. Women who are prescribed psychostimulants for ADHD report fluctuations in drug efficacy that correspond to their menstrual cycle.
• In rodents, females acquire psychostimulant addiction more readily and release more dopamine (DA) in the dorsal striatum, an effect mediated by estrogen.
• However, the impact of the estrous cycle in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a core region for learning and addiction in the ventral striatum, is underexplored.
• Here, we examine cocaine, methylphenidate (Ritalin), and methamphetamine (Desoxyn) effects on DA transmission in male and naturally-cycling female mice.
Adapting The Auxin-Inducible Degron (Aid) System To The Zebrafish Model Organism, Dennis Li
Adapting The Auxin-Inducible Degron (Aid) System To The Zebrafish Model Organism, Dennis Li
Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2024
The Auxin Inducible Degron (AID) system is a conditional and reversible protein degradation system naturally occurring in plants. In the presence of the hormone Auxin, the AID tagged proteins are recruited into the plant’s E3 ubiquitin ligase machinery, ubiquitinated, and marked for degradation1. To adapt the AID system to the zebrafish model organism, our lab generated lines co-expressing Arabidopsis Thaliana plant TIR1 protein and GFP tagged with AID (GFP-AID) in superficially-located mechanosensory hair cells (HC) of the lateral line system and in spinal cord neurons found deeper in the body. Upon auxin application, GFP-AID expressed in the superficial HCs was …
