Bacterial Colonization Dynamics and Ecology of the Developing Zebrafish Intestine

Stephens, William (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)

Human intestinal microbiomes exhibit a large degree of interindividual compositional variation. Animal models, such as the zebrafish, facilitate the design of controlled and highly replicated studies that allow us to ...
Investigation into the Regulation and Function of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in Host-Microbe Interactions

Yang, Ye (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)

This dissertation describes our investigation into the regulation and function of the innate immune modulator alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Animal intestine harbors a vast and complex microbial community, the gut microbiota. ...
Setting the Limit on Axon Growth: Multiple Overlapping Mechanisms Repress the MAP3K Wnd/DLK So That Growth Cones Can Remodel into Stationary Synaptic Boutons

Feoktistov, Alexander (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)

The development of a stereotyped pattern of neural connectivity depends upon the behavior of growth cones, motile structures at the tips of axons that propel axon growth and steer the axon to its targets. When growth cones ...
The Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Binaural Interactions in Rat Auditory Cortex

Kyweriga, Michael (University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)

The interaural level difference (ILD) is a sound localization cue first computed in the lateral superior olive (LSO) by comparing the loudness of sounds between the two ears. In the auditory cortex, one class of neurons ...
The Role of the Microbiota in Prey Capture Behavior

Simonson, Levi (University of Oregon, 2016-11-21)

There is a growing body of evidence that normal nervous system activity requires signals from resident microbes. We have yet to discover the mechanisms by which the microbiota influence brain function. However, we know ...
