Mark Bohler

Bohler实验室- hat中的大鼠

Hello! I am Dr. Mark Bohler, a recent PhD graduate from Virginia Tech where I studied neurological and endocrine regulation of appetite in birds. 在万博地址, I study the effect that high ambient temperatures (HATs) have on appetite regulation in rats – aka: Rats in HATs. 同时进行教学和研究, 我强调理解回应(什么)的重要性。, the mechanisms mediating that response (the how) and the reason that the response occurs given a certain stimulus (the why). 在这个节目中, 我们将探讨HAT如何影响与食欲相关的行为, 以及随后大脑的一小部分是如何调节这种反应的. We will focus on the region of the brain most responsible for feeding and stress behaviors, as well as temperature sensation and thermoregulation; the hypothalamus. You will be working closely with two undergraduate students to explore the neurological basis of appetite regulation in HAT exposed rats. You will also have opportunities to mentor high school students who are actively conducting research of their own at 大学交流.

注:在这个实验室环境中工作包括处理动物, animal blood, 还有动物组织.

Ed Griffin

Griffin Laboratory – Exploring how specific cellular trafficking mechanisms result in plaque deposition characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease; 探讨牙微生物对牙周神经退行性变的影响. 阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病的线虫模型.

I am Dr. Ed Griffin. My research focuses on how distinct parts of the infrastructure in a neuron work together in response to neurodegenerative disease. 在我的实验室里，我们使用一种叫做C的生物. elegans, a metazooan that grows to 1mm in length at adulthood, yet has a robust nervous system. While teaching, I focus on the governing principles of phenomena and how they apply in myriad ways. 在研究实验室, I extend this to include the reasoning behind the process of research – how the hypothesis is the center of any scientific work, how we organize our controls and variables in the best way to test the hypothesis, 以及我们如何最有效地沟通来描述它. We will be working closely with 3 undergraduate researchers applying modern tools of bacterial culture, 基因操作, 神经元分析.

我将为南卡罗来纳州的STARS教师提供两个万博下载ios:
1. Exploring how specific cellular trafficking mechanisms result in plaque deposition characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease.
2. 探讨牙微生物对牙周神经退行性变的影响. 阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病的线虫模型.

Richard Keen

Keen实验室-腺苷对时间感知的影响

我是博士。. Richard Keen和我是万博地址心理学系的系主任. 在过去的25年中, I have worked on various projects focused on factors that affect your ability to perceive the passage of time. 你是否曾经坐在一个一小时的会议上，却好像花了三个小时? Conversely, have you ever had such a good time that time appeared to just fly by? 各种药物也会引起类似的效果. 我们实验室发现咖啡因可以加速时间感知. Caffeine is an adenosine antagonist, in other words, it prevents your natural adenosine from working. This summer, 我们将试图扭转这种影响, 减缓时间的知觉, 通过提供额外的腺苷. You will be working closely with two undergraduate students and have opportunities to mentor high school students who are actively conducting research of their own at 大学交流.

Note: Working in this laboratory environment includes the handling of rats and injections.
