Cytoskeletal Networks Driving Presynaptic Plasticity
(2021)Synapses – the delicate connections between our neurons – adjust and refine their strength to shape our brains, our thoughts, and our memories. Proteomic and genetic techniques have revealed that this process, known as synaptic ... -
Frontoparietal activation during visual conjunction search: Effects of bottom-up guidance and adult age.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2017-04)We conducted functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a visual search paradigm to test the hypothesis that aging is associated with increased frontoparietal involvement in both target detection and bottom-up attentional ... -
Genomic characterization of the evolutionary potential of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis facing ocean acidification.
(Genome Biol Evol, 2017-01-12)Ocean acidification (OA) is increasing due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and poses a threat to marine species and communities worldwide. To better project the effects of acidification on organisms' health and persistence ... -
Improved Visual Cognition through Stroboscopic Training.
(Front Psychol, 2011)Humans have a remarkable capacity to learn and adapt, but surprisingly little research has demonstrated generalized learning in which new skills and strategies can be used flexibly across a range of tasks and contexts. In ... -
The Influence of Genetic and Environmental Factors on the Phenology and Life-Cycle Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana
(2015)This dissertation examines the processes that generate phenotypic variation in life cycles in seasonal environments. Collectively, a life cycle describes the stages an organism passes through during a generation. The timing, ... -
The Regulation of Type 3 ILC and γδ T Cell Plasticity
(2022)Lymphocytes take on effector programs coordinated by lineage-defining transcription factors (LDTF), resulting in the production of cytokines that fight specific types of pathogens. Therefore, both adaptive and innate lymphocyte ... -
The Roles of Phenotypic Plasticity and Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Evolution of Complex Traits in Boechera stricta
(2016)All organisms live in complex habitats that shape the course of their evolution by altering the phenotype expressed by a given genotype (a phenomenon known as phenotypic plasticity) and simultaneously by determining the ... -
Within- and trans-generational plasticity: seed germination responses to light quantity and quality.
(AoB PLANTS, 2018-06)Plants respond not only to the environment in which they find themselves, but also to that of their parents. The combination of within- and trans-generational phenotypic plasticity regulates plant development. Plants use ...
