(2017)
Preservation of Pacific Northwest prairie ecosystems depends on our understanding of how climate change
will impact levels of biodiversity within these systems. In the PNW, climate change models have predicted
significant ...

Histamine has been found to be an important component during the
exercise recovery period, particularly in mediating vasodilation,
hyperemia, and hypotension. Blocking H1/H2 histamine receptors
produced altered outcomes ...

A mild traumatic brain injury (or MTBI) is a common occurrence in many individuals across a range of
disciplines. The purpose of this study is to better understand how physical activity and or sleep impacts
physiological ...

Every neuron in the brain has a specific identity including a key feature called neuronal connectivity, which is
defined as how neurons form synaptic pairs. Neurons innervate certain regions of the brain through an attribute ...

Munoz, Antonio
(2017)
Mice rely on their sense of smell for spatial navigation in their environment. Navigation with regards to smell relies on using odor concentrations to home in on an odor source of interest. Olfactory neuron populations ...

Cramer, Jennifer
(2017)
Our sensory systems allow us to navigate dynamic environments. For example, the olfactory system plays a key role in foraging behavior, such as the localization of an odor source. We will study sensory navigation in the ...

(University of Oregon, 2017)
Synapses are chemical junctions between neurons that allow signals to be transmitted from one neuron to another. Although disruptions to synapse structure and function contribute to symptoms of most neurological disorders, ...

Jean-Baptiste, Uriel
(2017)
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin to fit in the nucleus. One of the organizational subunits of chromatin are nucleosomes, which are composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. These nucleosomes can be rearranged ...
