Honors Undergraduate Research Program (SHURP) at Harvard Medical School‚ I began looking at contributions of the peripheral nervous system to anxiety-like behavior and social interaction deficits observed in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). I worked closely under my mentor and postdoc‚ Lauren Orefice‚ and my PI‚ David Ginty‚ on my specific project was to determine if restoration of peripheral somatosensory inhibitory signaling in a mouse model of ASD at an early age would improve the anxiety-like behavior

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal System (HPA) 2.

Test 01 - Introduction Receptor cells use chemical transmitters to communicate with relay cells or afferent nerve fibers. In all sensory systems‚ accessory structures modify‚ in some way‚ the stimulus going to the receptor surface. Receptors are electrically polarized cells and therefore have a resting membrane potential. Stimuli produce‚ in the appropriate receptors‚ a change in the electrical properties that is known as the receptor or generator potential. The two ways in which sensory stimuli

Dysarthria‚ a motor speech disorder‚ results in the impairment of speech production predominantly due to “disturbances in muscular execution or control of the speech mechanism” (Freed‚ 2011‚ p. 2). In general‚ patients will experience symptoms of vocal fatigue‚ tremors‚ slurred or slow speech that’s difficult to understand‚ and problems controlling pitch and loudness (5). At the diagnosis stage‚ SLPs notice important signs of abnormal strength‚ speed‚ and accuracy during speech movements (Moore‚

Chapter 2- Darwin was the first to suggest how evolutionoccurs. Humans belong to the primate family known as hominins. Characteristics that evolved to perform one function but were co-opted to perform another function are called exaptations. Each group of three consecutive nucleotide bases along the strand of messenger RNA is called a codon‚ which instructs the ribosome to add amino acids to the protein being constructed. Subsequent to the nature-nuture issue‚ a second line of thought surrounding

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease that disables the central nervous system including the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral nervous system. This disease is disabling and emotionally devastating to the person. Ultimately‚ it’s considered an autoimmune disease which means the body’s immune system attacks itself‚ causing damage to the myelin sheath‚ which covers the nerve fibers. This causes problems with the body’s communication between the brain and the nerves in rest of the body

Brain Machine Interface (Brain Computer Interface): In this definition‚ the word “brain” means the brain or nervous system of an organic life form rather than the mind. “Computer” means any processing or computational device‚ from simple circuits to silicon chips (including hypothetical future technologies such as quantum computing).
