The effects of enhanced expression of the GluN2B (NR2B) subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor on memory in aged animals

Creator:

Brim, Brenna L.

Abstract:

As the aging population continues to grow worldwide, age-related complications are becoming more apparent within the aging population. One of the first age-related complications to become apparent is age-associated memory impairment and it can make the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is important to...

Influence of aging and behavioral experience on expression of GluN1 splice variants of the NMDA receptor in prefrontal cortex of mice brain

Creator:

Das, Siba Ranjan

Abstract:

As the aging population continues to grow the world over, age related complications become more and more apparent among the elderly population. One such complication is age associated memory impairment, which makes the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. NMDA receptors in the brain are important for memory formation,...

Human gait analysis by gait pattern measurement and forward dynamic model combined with non linear feedback control

Creator:

Ko, Seung-uk

Abstract:

Normal gait of human is believed to be an adapted motor control result of optimal behavior of individual. Normal gait would be altered by aging or injury without being perceived. Subtle changes in gait which is not easy to detect, can cause many serious problems including joint pains and even...
