Every year, over three million people sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Traumatic brain injury refers to any injury to the brain resulting from force to the skull that can cause concussion, contusion, and diffuse injury to neurons, which can further cause severe neurologic…

The perception of time is one of the hallmarks of conscious experience. However, despite this importance, time is a relatively understudied dimension in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. A central question within the time perception literature is whether timing relies on a …
One central mechanism underlying cell death following cerebral ischemia is a loss of the balance between excitation and inhibition leading to excitotoxicity. We began by investigating whether oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), an ischemia-like challenge, altered cell-surface expr…
Pre-treatment with polyunsaturated fatty acids or bioactive lipid mediators has been shown to reduce neuronal injury in rodent models of focal ischaemia, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this neuroprotection are unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether syst…
Iron is of great importance in neurodegenerative diseases. A considerable amount of work has been done to detect iron in the brain. But what still remains a challenge is quantifying iron deposits in brain tissue using non invasive techniques. Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI…
This study evaluated adult’s expressions of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with regard to substance use disorders and suicidality. The study concluded there was a moderate relationship between ACEs and substance use disorders. While this study did not find significance bet…
The objective of this thesis paper is to highlight my artistic process, current projects, and research strategies emerging from my studio practice. First, this thesis describes and elaborates my practice of “reconstruction,” the reasons I find it effective, and the personal hist…
Adult neurogenesis is the most dramatic form of plasticity in the adult brain and may play a role in learning and memory, especially in perceptually difficult tasks in complex natural environments. New neurons appear only in a few regions of the adult mammalian brain and become …
תסמונת דחק בתר-טראומטית נגרמת בעקבות חשיפה לגורם דחק אקוטי, בלתי נשלט ובלתי צפוי שעלול לגרום לפגיעה פסיכולוגית ותפקודית משמעותית. עם, המנגנונים הנוירוביולוגיים שעומדים מאחורי התסמונת אינם ברורים. על מנת להאיר מנגנונים אלה, נעשה שימוש במודלים שונים של התסמונת בבעלי חיים כמו טראומ…
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a groundbreaking detection system that, among many other applications, enabled neuroscience researchers to detect and image physiological changes in the brain associated with cognitive operations as subjects perform a task. This technology h…
