Analysis of scn5Laa and scn5Lab Gene Function in Danio rerio (Zebrafish) Heart Development through TALENs/CRISPR-CAS9-mediated Gene Knockout
(East Carolina University, 2015)Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular developmental genetic effects of crude oil exposure on vertebrate embryogenesis. Our research has demonstrated that exposure of zebrafish embryos to ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF MIGRATING NEURAL CREST CELLS FROM HINDBRAIN EXPLANTS IN ZEBRAFISH
(East Carolina University, 2010)Our lab was interested in creating a reproducible mechanism for obtaining neural crest cells in culture from cultured hindbrain explants of zebrafish. We have characterized the population of cells migrating from the ... -
Characterization of Social Status-Dependent Neuromodulation in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)In zebrafish (Danio rerio), social interactions between adult males consist of a series of aggressive encounters that ultimately lead to the formation of stable hierarchies of either socially dominant or subordinate animals. ... -
SOCIAL REGULATION OF THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM IN ZEBRAFISH MOTOR CIRCUITS
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Social status-dependent modulation of neural circuits has been investigated extensively in vertebrate and invertebrate systems. However, the effect of social status on shifting the balance in activation between competing ... -
The Effects of Social Status on Dopaminergic Regulation of Neural Circuit Activation and Behavior
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)Social hierarchies can be observed within communities across many species and allow for proper allocation of resources. When forming social hierarchies, animals that display the most aggressive behaviors generally emerge ...
