Notch and Fgf signaling during electrosensory versus mechanosensory lateral line organ development in a non-teleost ray-finned fish
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)The lateral line system is a useful model for studying the embryonic and evolutionary diversification of different organs and cell types. In jawed vertebrates, this ancestrally comprises lines of mechanosensory neuromasts ... -
Understanding Social Behaviour - Macaque behaviour in coordination and cooperation games and the encoding of inequity in striatum
(2017-10-01)Social behaviours have been widely studied in behavioural economics and psychology. However, the origins of these behaviours in the brain are poorly understood. In this dissertation I will discuss two main avenues of study ... -
Effects of ageing on pro-arrhythmic ventricular phenotypes in incrementally paced murine Pgc1β-/- hearts
A range of chronic clinical conditions accompany cardiomyocyte energetic dysfunction and constitute independent risk factors for cardiac arrhythmia. We investigated pro-arrhythmic and arrhythmic phenotypes in energetically ... -
Inverse modulation of motor neuron cellular and synaptic properties can maintain the same motor output
(Elsevier, 2017-09-30)Although often examined in isolation, a single neuromodulator typically has multiple cellular and synaptic effects. Here, we have examined the interaction of the cellular and synaptic effects of 5-HT in the lamprey spinal ...
