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 | |

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 |
