A genetic and neurochemical analysis of dopamine regulation in drosophila melanogaster of human neurodegenerative disorders and neuroinflammation

Ajjuri, Rami Rifat (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

Dopamine, a critical neurotransmitter, regulates dozens of vital biological functions within the human brain and throughout the body, and therefore disruptions in dopamine signaling result in a wide range of behavioral, ...
Genetic analyses of lipid metabolism pathways involved in alpha-synuclein-induced neurodegeneration using a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Parkinson’s disease

Zhang, Siyuan (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an aging-associated neurodegenerative disease affecting millions worldwide. Misfolding of the human α-synuclein protein is a key pathological hallmark of PD and is associated with the progressive ...
Genetic analyses of signal transduction pathways involved in neuromuscular excitability and neurodegeneration in Caenorhabtidis elegans

Kautu, Bwarenaba B. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2012)

Signal transduction pathways regulate many cellular and molecular aspects of the brain including neurotransmission and cell survival. Defects in neuronal signaling can lead to a variety of cognitive and affective disorders ...
Influence of lab adapted natural diet, genotype, and microbiota on drosophila melanogaster larvae

Bombin, Andrei (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020-12)

Obesity is an increasing pandemic and is caused by multiple factors including genotype, psychological stress, and gut microbiota. Our project investigated the effects produced by microbiota community, acquired from the ...
Spring-adapted darters (Percidae: Etheostoma) as a model to understand factors that influence diversification, gene flow, and genetic variation in freshwater fishes

Fluker, Brook Lee (University of Alabama Libraries, 2011)

Darters (Percidae: Etheostomatinae) represent one of the most successful evolutionary radiations in North America and have become an exceptional model system in the study of freshwater fish diversification. I used a variety ...
The development and regulation of adult abdominal segment reduction in drosophila

Wang, Wei (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

A central aim of evolutionary research is to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the morphological divergence of species. A growing body of evidence has been accumulated showing mutations in ...
