The Regulation Of Neuropeptide Corazonin And Its Functional Analyses In Drosophila Melanogaster, Seung-Hoon Choi
The Regulation Of Neuropeptide Corazonin And Its Functional Analyses In Drosophila Melanogaster, Seung-Hoon Choi
Doctoral Dissertations
Neuropeptides regulate diverse physiological processes, including homeostatic metabolism, behavior, reproduction, and development. The neuropeptide Corazonin (Crz), was first isolated from American cockroach, P. americana, as a potent cardioactive substance, and has been shown to exert diverse functions in different insects. In Drosophila, Crz expression is limited to three groups of neurons; totaling only 26 neurons out of ~10,000 neurons in a third instar larval central nervous system (CNS). In adults, Crz is expressed in 6-8 pairs of protocerebral neurons and 2 pairs of male specific abdominal ganglion. To gain insight into such tight regulatory mechanisms of …
The Effects Of 17- Beta Estradiol On G-Protein Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channels (Girks) In Breast Cancer, Michael W. Hance
The Effects Of 17- Beta Estradiol On G-Protein Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channels (Girks) In Breast Cancer, Michael W. Hance
Doctoral Dissertations
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death and in 2009, the American Cancer Society estimates that over 192,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed, and over 40,000 women will die from breast cancer. Estrogen (E2) is required for normal female development and reproduction, but long-term exposure is carcinogenic and considered a risk factor for breast cancer. Membrane ion channels are essential for cell proliferation and are suggested to have a role in cancer, especially potassium channels. In the present study, we investigate the effects of estrogen and the estrogen antagonist ICI182780 on G-protein inwardly rectifying potassium …
Seasonal Variation In Lake Erie Picoplankton, Star Nicole Loar
Seasonal Variation In Lake Erie Picoplankton, Star Nicole Loar
Masters Theses
Striking rates of environmental changes combined with increased demand make it essential to develop a better understanding of global freshwater resources. Seasonal hypoxia in the central basin of Lake Erie is the result of thermal stratification and lake morphology. Limnetic physics can, however, only explain part of Lake Erie‟s “behavior”: the activity(s) of the ecosystem‟s biological members can be equally important. The goal of this study was to identify picocyanobacterial community members in the central basin of Lake Erie during summer stratification and the winter season to see how they may vary with season. Identification of microbial communities under the …

"The Natural History Of Truth: The Neurobiology Of Belief", Neil Greenberg
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The pursuit of truth is woven into the fabric of every organism*. Any estimate of how best to survive and thrive in the reality in which we are immersed requires a sense of self, of the world, and of their relationship to each other. I wish to explore the idea that this pursuit has at its heart two complementary modes of reality testing utilizing separate cerebral systems which deal, respectively with the correspondence of experience with the world and the coherence of the experience with previous experiences: “is it real” and “does it fit?” At multiple levels of the nervous …
