Regulation by a developmental transcription factor of signaling enzymes related to atrial fibrillation

Creator:: Law, Christina M.
Abstract:: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and the mechanisms that lead to this heart defect are not fully understood. Consequently, treatments for this defect do not currently reverse structural or molecular variations that lead to cardiac arrhythmia.

Characterization of Quorum-Sensing Diversity in Environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa Populations

Creator:: Grellmann, Elise Kaylene
Abstract:: While the quorum-sensing (QS) diversity of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been well established in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections and in vitro experiments, little is known about its QS-diversity in natural environments. One significant QS-deficient behavior is social cheating. Social cheaters contain mutations that prevent them from producing...

Processing Facial Attractiveness Without Central Attention: Evidence from Electrophysiological Measures

Creator:: Robison, Bianca R.
Abstract:: Jung, Ruthruff, Tybur, Gaspelin, and Miller (2012) reported behavioral evidence that the perception of facial attractiveness requires central attentional resources. We evaluated this conclusion using more sensitive electrophysiological measures. Participants first made an attractiveness rating on faces to validate the assigned level of attractiveness (low vs. high). They then performed...

An Electrophysiological Study of Involuntary Attention Capture in a Go/No-go Paradigm

Creator:: Herdener, Nathan D.
Abstract:: The present study examined whether attention capture is driven by object saliency or contingent on top-down control setting using a go/no-go paradigm. Specifically, we investigated whether salient color singletons capture attention only when the target itself is also a singleton. We used a go/no-go task. Participants were told to search...

Beyond the attentional blink : An electrophysiological study of processing facial emotional expression

Creator:: Stewart, Alicia V.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies have observed facial recognition bypass attentional limitations when performed with non-facial recognition tasks (e.g., a digit task). Awh et al. (2004) proposed this was due to multi-channel processing, where non-facial objects utilize a feature-based channel leaving the configural-based channel available for facial processing. We tested this hypothesis using...
