Structure-Function Analysis of Focal Adhesion Protein Vinculin in Neocortical Axon Growth and Development
Axon growth and extension are dependent on the interaction of neurons with extracellular matrix (ECM). The interaction between cells and ECM is known as focal adhesion (FA). Vinculin is one the major proteins of FA complex ...
SRF regulates the generation of neuroprotective astrocytes in the brain
In response to injuries, infections or in neurodegenerative disorders, astrocytes get activated to become reactive. This phenomenon is called astrogliosis and is marked by a spectrum of changes which encompasses structural, ...
Neural Correlates and Behavioral Underpinnings of Remote Memories during Systems Consolidation
Remote retrieval of declarative memories has been under investigation for a long time. After acquisition, long-term encoding of memories happens through crosstalk across multiple brain regions. Through systems consolidation, ...
Parietal and prefrontal control of distinct components of attention
In this thesis, we investigate behavioural mechanisms and neural substrates of distinct components of endogenous spatial attention. Endogenous attention facilitates neural processing of the selected stimulus through one ...
Effect of Stimulus Normalization and Visual Attention at multiple scales of Neural Integration
The effect of visual attention on neural signals has been extensively studied using various techniques such as macaque neurophysiology and human electro/magneto encephalogram (EEG/MEG). Depending on the technique, different ...
Decoding of Attention and Behavioral State Using Local Field Potentials
Visual attention has been shown to modulate perceptual behavior and neuronal activity. Early psychophysical studies on attention showed that the subjects detected a target presented at the attended location better (i.e., ...
Characterization of Visual Stimulus-Induced Gamma Oscillations as Signatures of Mechanisms Underlying Healthy Aging and Disease
Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations in the electrical activity recorded from the brain that convey important information about brain function. Gamma oscillations, which refer to the 30–80 Hz frequency range, are ...
Astroglial development as the basis for the effects of early life stress on adult depressive-like behavior
This thesis investigates the enduring effects of early-life stress, specifically maternal separation, on astroglial population and the subsequent behavioral outcomes in adult mice. While the persistent impact of early-life ...
