Temme, Jack | A closer look at aberrant muscle function | When a skeletal muscle is inhibited from operating at its full function it is called an aberrant muscle. Such inhibition tends to occur after joint trauma in order to protect the injured area from further aggravation. However, inhibition can linger after the injury is healed, which negatively impact... | 2021 | |

Brown, Audrey | Analyzing response patterns of olfactory bulb glomeruli at low odorant concentration regimes | Sensory input to the olfactory system begins with the binding of an odorant molecule to an olfactory receptor (OR) contained on the surface of an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN). Olfactory bulb (OB) glomeruli receive information from OSNs containing the same OR type and are thought to help process se... | 2021 | |

Rohaj, Aarushi | Apoptosis efficiency of the transfected elephant and human P35 vectors in P53 varying leiomyosarcoma cells | Comparative Oncology is an approach that integrates and connects commonly occurring cancers seen in animals, into studies focused on cancer biology, prevention, and treatment in humans. Studies show that natural mechanisms can suppress cancer 1,000 times more adequately in certain animals than in hu... | 2021 | |

Tennant, Karrin | Competitive nighttime stomatal response of Populus Trichocarpa during drought | Stomata are critical valves responsible for gas exchange on the leaf level. They control rates of transpiration and as such play a crucial role in terrestrial water cycling. When stomata open, water molecules in the intracellular leaf space are subject to evaporation, especially in dry conditions. T... | 2021 | |

Orton, Cody | Presynaptic bouton and postsynaptic Kenyon cell claw morphology with synaptic plasticity in drosophila | My thesis aims at determining whether or not neural activity affects connectivity in the Drosophila melanogaster olfactory circuit. Specifically, I am testing whether sensory activity is required for Projection neurons and Kenyon cell morphology. Therefore, my primary and central question is: does s... | 2021 | |

Enriquez, Trisha Pauline Diaz | Substrate use within the drosophila melanogaster species subgroup | Effective sensory perception is a vital aspect of survival for living organisms such as Drosophila. More specifically, olfaction, or the sense of smell, is essential because the detection of odors allows it to find potential food, danger, or specifically, where to lay eggs. This review will examine ... | 2021 | |

Amaechi, Ayana | Understanding sex differences in early predictors of pathological aggression with a mouse model | Antisocial behavior (ASB) is characterized by aggression, violence, drug use, thrillseeking behavior, and delinquent behavior. While childhood and adolescent maltreatment contribute to the ontogeny of this condition, converging evidence suggests that genetic factors play an equally important role. T... | MAOA; pathological aggression; sex differences; stress; early development; animal models | 2021 |

Checketts, Cynthia | Why white mice? improving biological literacy through animal history | Throughout the undergraduate experience, biology students are introduced to hundreds of experiments, theories, and principles, many of which are rooted in animal experimentation. However, in required and information-heavy biology courses, the erasure of animals from the scientific story-which repres... | 2021 |
