Orphan Glutamate Receptor delta-1 Subunit Required for High-Frequency Hearing
(East Carolina University, 2007-06)
The function of the orphan glutamate receptor delta subunits (GluR 1 and GluR 2) remains unclear. GluR 2 is expressed exclusively in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, and GluR 1 is prominently expressed in inner ear ...
A Quantitative Survey of Gravity Receptor Function in Mutant Mouse Strains
(East Carolina University, 2005-12)
The purpose of this research was to identify vestibular deficits in mice using linear vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs). VsEP thresholds, peak latencies, and peak amplitudes from 24 strains with known genetic mutations ...
Functional Aging of the Inner Ear Sensory Systems in Mouse Models of Age-Related Hearing Loss
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Age related structural and functional change in the cochlea have been well described and predisposing factors including genetic background, gender, and environmental factors have been identified. To date, nine genetic loci ...
Use of Oral Language General Outcome Measures to Describe Children According to Language Status
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The purpose of the study was to determine if short language samples can effectively distinguish children with language impairments from those who are typically developing. Four elicitation methods (individual picture ...
Motor Learning Guided Treatment with Childhood Apraxia of Speech: Cueing & Feedback
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The aim of this study was to determine if participants with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) respond with improved speech production when provided motor learning guided (MLG) treatment strategies. Five participants, ...
An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals ...
Subjective and objective screening measures for dysphonia pre-thyroidectomy
(East Carolina University, 2013)
There has been a link established between post-surgical dysphonia and thyroidectomy procedures and various studies identify that a large percentage of these patients have dysphonia after surgery. Most of these incidences ...
Hearing aids in older adults: audibility, outcomes, status, characteristics, and skills
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The current study explored hearing aid outcomes for a group of participants who were dispenser fit rather than protocol fit. Participants could have been fit and followed by any hearing aid practitioner increasing the ...
Social communication between intellectually disabled, severe middle school students who use augmentative and alternative communication and their typically developing peers
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices are often used as a mode of communication for people who cannot use spoken language to meet all of their communication needs. Current research is limited regarding ...
The Effect of Drawing to Enhance Word Retrieval in Individuals with Chronic Severe Aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The purpose of the current study was to examine if individuals with severe chronic aphasia could increase their ability to retrieve object names by implementing the compensatory strategy of drawing. This unique treatment ...
