Higher Order Conditioning of the Eyeblink Reflex
(2019-11-30)Classical conditioning of the eyeblink response is a well-established model of cerebellar-dependent associative motor learning. In this paradigm an initially neutral conditioned stimulus (CS - e.g. an auditory tone or ... -
Visual Adaptations and Behavioural Strategies to Detect and Catch Small Targets
(2019-10-26)Predatory behaviours are ideal for studying the limits of performance and control within animals. Predation naturally creates a competition between the sensors and physiology of predator and prey. Aerial predation demonstrates ... -
Super-resolution Microscopy: Novel Developments and Optimisations
(2019-10-26)This thesis describes the design, development and optimisation of a multifunctional localisation based super-resolution microscope at Cambridge Advanced Imaging Centre. The microscope is optimised to perform single and ... -
Investigating the Morphology and Behaviour of Quiescent Neural Stem Cells in Drosophila Melanogaster
(2019-11-30)Understanding stem cell behaviour and the mechanisms that govern stem cell proliferation is a key question in developmental biology. Stem cell divisions must be carefully regulated as too little proliferation can cause ...
