    • BMP Signaling in High Grade Gliomas 
      Hover, Laura Debra (2015-12-16)
      Department: Pathology
      Improved therapies for high grade gliomas (HGG) are urgently needed, as the median survival for grade IV gliomas is just 15 months after treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Recently, bone morphogenetic ...
    • Optical Characterization of Pulsed Infrared Light Evoked Cortical Brain Activity 
      Cayce, Jonathan Matthew (2013-04-01)
      Department: Biomedical Engineering
      Infrared neural stimulation (INS) uses pulsed infrared light to directly stimulate neural tissue with high spatiotemporal precision and is well documented for peripheral nerve applications; however, prior to this dissertation, ...
    • Studies on the Development and Consequences of Neuroinflammation in Obesity 
      Buckman, Laura Beth (2014-06-27)
      Department: Molecular Physiology and Biophysics
      In the past decade, evidence has emerged that obesity induces a neuroinflammatory response in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that contains neuronal circuitry controlling feeding and metabolism. The potential ...
