An Assessment of Low Level Lead Exposure on Encephalization and Cortical Quotients and its Relationships with Cortical Thinning & Neurodegeneration.
(2017)Lead (Pb) is a neurotoxin that causes lifelong cognitive dysfunction. Depending upon 1) gender, 2) the developmental time-period, and 3) the duration of Pb exposure, different patterns of brain damage may emerge during ... -
An Assessment of Taurine as a Nootropic in aged male rats in the attention set-shift test
(2022-04-23)The global population is continuing to age more than ever before, while at the same time increasing the rates of age-related cognitive dementias and associated neurodegenerative disorders. This situation has directed ... -
Characterizing visual eye tracking differences in students with and without disabilities: An assessment for predicting prescriptive visual accommodative technologies
(2018-04)The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2011-2012, reported that 11% of undergraduate students are identified as having a disability. Nearly, 38% of students with disabilities are enrolled in 2-year institutions ... -
Developmental lead exposure alters rodent maternal pup retrieval disrupting adolescent social play
(2018-04)Developmental lead (Pb) exposure remains a valuable neurotoxicant rodent model of human environmentally induced cognitive disability, yet less is known about Pb-exposure on maternal pup care and its relationship to adolescent ... -
The Effects of Developmental Lead Exposure in the Rat on Brain Excitability Through in-vivo Seizure Susceptibility
(SURC-2019 Farmingdale, 2019-04-26)Developmental lead poisoning in the rat model has been shown to alter the influence that the GABAergic inhibitory system has in balancing brain excitability across the lifespan. The results of disrupted inhibitory systems ... -
The Effects of Developmental Lead Poisoning on the Adult Rat's Freezing and Exploration Behaviors in a Hole Board Test
(SURC-2019 Farmingdale, 2019-04-26)Lead poisoning is a well-established neurotoxicant that produces developmental neuropathologies that persist across the lifespan. However, how these early neurodeveloprnental insults impair sensorimotor, emotional, and ... -
The effects of team win:loss ratio on individual motivation and performance
(2018-04)Athletes experience performance pressures to win competitions regardless of their team's Win:Loss ratio (W:L). However, little is known regarding how such pressures influence athlete's motivation. Prior studies have attempted ... -
Flanker Task Visual Eye Tracking Performance Measures: Assessment of Individual Disability Classifications Sensitivity Detection in Cumulative Response Learning and RT
(SURC-2019 Farmingdale, 2019-04-26)Individuals with disabilities often require accommodative technologies in order to help facilitate their leaning during their undergraduate college years. However, dependent upon the type of disability that an individual ... -
A Guide to teaching Statistics and Research Methods II: Helping students with perceptual and physical disabilities
(2018-04)The purpose of this handbook is to give faculty, students and staff some insight on how to best help a student with a physical and/or perceptual disability. It is informed by my experiences learning to overcome just those ... -
Lead Poisoning Effects on Brain Excitability: Using Fourier Transforms to Parse Seizures Through Brain Waves and Slow and Fast Ripples
(2021-04-16)Neurodevelopmental exposure to lead poisoning causes alterations in the GABA-shift from early excitation-to-inhibition balancing. The GABA-shift is a hallmark event that when disrupted is a well-known neurodevelopmental ... -
Low Level Lead Exposure Impairs Attentional Set Shifting Task Performance Depending Upon Sex and Developmental Periods of Exposure
(2016)Lead (Pb) is a well-known neurotoxin, that when exposed in early development causes lifelong cognitive dysfunction. Pb toxicity research focuses more on memory and motor disturbances and less on executive processes. Further, ... -
Metastatic Cancer: The Migration of Cancerous Cells
(2016)Migration is a movement from one place to another and it occurs in every aspect of life. Migration is not bound by size. In a biological sense, it can be macroscopic with the seasonal movements of an animal species, or ... -
Parental Influence: Potential long-term effects of strict parenting
(2017)Although parental involvement in childhood can increase a child's academic success (Landers, Friedrick, Jawad & Miller, 2016), an authoritarian parenting style — characterized by strict enforcement of rules, a high degree ... -
Perinatal Lead Exposure Causes Increased Sensitivity to Aversive Conditioning in Rat’s: Implications for Lower Sensory Thresholds for Emotional Learning and Memory Tasks
(2021-04-16)Lead is well-established neurotoxin that causes brain damage to the developing brain with persistent effects that remain across the lifespan. Dependent upon the developmental time-period of exposure (e.g., gestation, ... -
Validating Visual Eye Tracking Technology to Assess Accommodative Technology for Students with Disabilities in Undergraduate Education
(2017)The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2011-2012, reported that 11% of undergraduate students are identified as having a disability (i.e., 38% are enrolled in 2year vs 9.8% at 4-year institutions). Students ...
