(University of Oregon, 2021)Olfactomotor responses are respiratory, orofacial, and locomotive movements for sampling and reacting to odors (Rabell et al. 2017, Kurnikova, Deschênes, and Kleinfeld 2019, Findley et al. 2020, Johnson et al 2003, Wesson ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)This thesis seeks to assess the public perception of a new functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) facial memory reconstruction technology and its potential future usage in creating facial composites that could serve ...
-
Comparison of Stop-Signal and Continuous Movement Reaction Stop Times to Measure Inhibitory Control (University of Oregon, 2020)For the past few decades, a major tool used to study inhibitory control has been the Stop-Signal Task (SST). This task gives an estimate of how well individuals can inhibit initiated movements. The speed of stopping can ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022)The contemporary juvenile justice system is characterized by a striking racial disparity in which young, Black boys are the most disadvantaged at every level. This dynamic, first, is contextualized by the history of juvenile ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Visual attentional control is a behavior that is critical for survival; despite its importance, the specific neural mechanisms underlying the process remain unclear. Upon perception, visual information is routed from the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)The hippocampus aids in remembering and linking a variety of experiences in order to form general representations of the world. Previous research shows that anterior hippocampus supports generalized memory, while posterior ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is prevalent in self-referential and social cognition tasks, often found to be split between the ventral MPFC and dorsal MPFC with the former engaging in self-reference and the latter ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022)The awake brain of an animal is constantly fluctuating between states, causing performance on a given task to be highly variable from one moment to the next. Previous literature demonstrates that optimal performance occurs ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-03)The neural pathways that allow the brain to select the actions an animal should take in response to a sound in order to get a reward are not well understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that a region of the brain ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Skill implies a certain level of expertise when performing a voluntary movement. Research has identified that skilled movement is characterized by decreased cortical activation in the motor cortex and decreased coherence ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Our eye is not just a camera providing an image of the world around us, but rather a tool that the visual system uses to navigate our environment. One visual ability that separates human vision from cameras is depth ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)Historically, the sensory regions of the mammalian brain have been characterized as processing centers for single modalities—for example, visual cortex processes vision. It has since been found that sensory regions are not ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Olfaction is vital for many crucial animal behaviors such as social interaction, avoiding predators, and locating food. Our goal is to understand how an animal navigates toward the source of an odor. However, little is ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022)To understand the world around us, the auditory system of our brains discriminates between different sounds to interpret our surroundings. Normally, simple sounds (like pure tones) are used to study the neural mechanisms ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons are known to play key roles in the inhibiton of pyramidal neurons in the auditory cortex of the brain, but little is known about the exact circuits they function in. The auditory ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Although we often are tasked with learning pieces of information that are related in some way in educational settings, the learning conditions that promote learning of and connections across related information are still ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-06)An estimated 100 billion neurons form the human brain, equal to the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Nervous system function emerges from the patterns and properties of the connections, or synapses, between these ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Disruption in social behavior is characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder that appears in early childhood. Previous experiments in zebrafish showed lesioning of the ventral forebrain reduced ...

-
(University of Oregon, 2020)Observable changes in behavior result from complex network activity within the brain. Precise excitation and inhibition of neurons is partially regulated via neuromodulatory systems which regulate the behavior of other ...
