    Mechanisms underlying Retinoic acid-induced chemoattraction in molluscan neurons 

    Farrar, Nathan R. (Brock University, 2010-10-25)
    Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to play diverse roles in development and regeneration. Previous research in the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis has shown that a gradient of all-trans retinoic acid ...

    Effects of low doses of quinpirole on production of 50 kHz vocalizations in Wistar rats 

    Komadoski, Melanie D. (Brock University, 2011-03-08)
    Rats emit two distinct types of ultrasonic vocalizations in adulthood: 22 kHz (aversive situation), and 50 kHz calls (appetitive situation). The present project is focussed on pharmacological studies of ...

    Characterizing the impact of multiple potential enemies (predators and parasites) on the behaviour of ranid tadpoles 

    Szuroczki, Dorina (Brock University, 2010-10-26)
    In order to fully understand an organism's behaviours the interactions between multiple enemies or selective pressures need to be considered, as these interactions are usually far more complex than the simple addition ...

    The Implications of Forager Behaviour for Social Organisation in a Socially Polymorphic Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa virginica) 

    Course, Chris (2013-04-01)
    In social Hymenoptera, the division of labour is a major step in the evolution of sociality. Bees, which express many different kinds of sociality, can be classified according to how individuals share or do not share ...

    Elucidation of the Retinoid Signalling Pathway Involved in Axon Guidance in Lymnaea stagnalis and Xenopus laevis 

    Rand, Christopher (Brock University, 2012-11-07)
    The vitamin A metabolite, retinoic acid (RA), is known to play a crucial role in several developmental processes including axial patterning and differentiation. More recently, RA has been implicated in the regenerative ...

    Interactions between the cholinergic and dopaminergic systems during the production of ultrasonic vocalizations in rats 

    Silkstone, Michael (Brock University, 2012-09-18)
    Rats produce ultrasonic vocalizations that can be categorized into two types of ultrasonic calls based on their sonographic structure. One group contains 22-kHz ultrasonic vocalization (USVs), characterized by relatively ...

    Genetic Analysis of Taste in Homo Sapiens 

    Bering, Amanda (Brock University, 2013-03-06)
    There are many known taste receptors specific to each taste attribute. This thesis examines the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations (CNVs) in known taste and taste pathway ...

    A Survey of hMLH1 mRNA Splicing Profiles in Human Cell Lines: Comparing Primary Cultured Fibroblasts Before and After Oxidative Stress and Transiently versus Stably Demethylated Colon Cancer Derived Cell Lines 

    Tiedtke, Esther (2013-04-15)
    Most human genes undergo alternative splicing and loss of splicing fidelity is associated with disease. Epigenetic silencing of hMLH 1 via promoter cytosine methylation is causally linked to a subset of sporadic non-polyposis ...

    Correlation of Protein Homeostasis With Maximum Lifespans in Endothermic Vertebrates 

    Salway, Kurtis (2013-04-15)
    Cellular stress resistance has been shown to be highly correlated with longevity. However, the mechanisms conferring this stress resistance have yet to be identified. Maintenance of protein homeostasis is a critical ...
