Using brain activity for ambiguity reduction of touch-based gestures in a 3D CAD environment
(2014)
The aim of this thesis is to explore how multimodal Computer Aided Design (CAD) interfaces can be developed by integrating brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and touch-based systems. This integration is proposed in order to ...
Neurogenesis in mouse model of blast induced traumatic brain injury
(2014)
The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the effects of blast-induced traumatic brain injury on the process of neurogenesis in the two stem cell niches - the sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the dentate ...
Melatonin receptor-mediated modulation of multiple behavioral rhythms in mice
(2014)
High affinity melatonin receptors are expressed in different regions of the central nervous system and modulate processes that can modify behaviors. The goal of our research was to investigate the role of endogenous melatonin ...
Through the eyes of bat flies: Behavioral, phylogenetic, and histological analyses of compound eye reduction in bat flies (Streblidae) provide evidence for positive selection
(2014)
It is often presumed that evolutionary reduction is tantamount to deconstruction, or even destruction, because relaxed selective forces have been insufficient to maintain the organ in its original state. However, studies ...
Effects of Anxiety Symptoms on the Masticatory Muscle Activity of Subjects with TMD-Pain Diagnoses
(2014)
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint and associated structures, or both The prime manifestation ...
Effect of obesity and depression on autonomic nervous system reactivity and pulmonary function in asthmatic children
(2014)
The goal of this interdisciplinary retrospective analysis study, bridging the fields of Neuroscience, Public Health and Biomedical Informatics, is to gain insight into 1) if and how obesity and depression affect asthmatic ...
Variation in dominance relationships in macaques from phylogenetic and socioecological perspectives
(2014)
Understanding the evolution of sociality and social systems has been a major endeavor among evolutionary anthropologists and animal behaviorists. During the last two decades in particular, behavioral ecologists have found ...
Withdrawal periods following extended access cocaine self-administration do not alter drug intake during binge or resistance to punished cocaine self-administration relapse
(2014)
Drug addiction is characterized as a chronic and relapsing disorder which persists despite long periods of abstinence from the drug. Changes in subjective craving for the drug have been reported to increase with long periods ...
