    • Regulation of mammalian spinal locomotor networks by glial cells 

      Acton, David (University of St Andrews, 2017-06) - Thesis
      Networks of interneurons within the spinal cord coordinate the rhythmic activation of muscles during locomotion. These networks are subject to extensive neuromodulation, ensuring appropriate behavioural output. Astrocytes ...

    • Virtuous violence : a social identity approach to understanding the politics of prejudice in inter-group relations 

      Rath, Rakshi (University of St Andrews, 2016-11-30) - Thesis
      The aim of the thesis is to provide a social identity account of the politics of mobilisation: based on hatred mostly, in contrast with accounts of solidarity. The bulk of the thesis concentrates on exploring how and why ...

    • Organic light-emitting diodes for optogenetic stimulation of Drosophila larvae 

      Murawski, Caroline; Morton, Andrew; Samuel, Ifor David William; Pulver, Stefan; Gather, Malte Christian (Optical Society of American (OSA), 2016-11-14) - Conference item
      Optogenetics is an emerging method in biology that enables controlling neurons with light. We use organic light-emitting diodes to stimulate neurons in Drosophila larvae and investigate subsequent behavioral changes at ...

    • Evaluation and characterisation of two zebrafish models of schizophrenia 

      Daggett, J. M. (Jenny Michelle) (University of St Andrews, 2016-11-30) - Thesis
      Cognitive deficits are the single strongest predictor of the functional outcome in patients with schizophrenia. Current treatments are largely ineffective in improving cognitive impairments and promising pre-clinical ...

    • Visuo-spatial working memory 

      Ralston, George Eastop (University of St Andrews, 1988) - Thesis
      This study set out to investigate the visuo-spatial component of Baddeley and Hitch's (1974) Working Memory framework. The development of our understanding of this component has been less dramatic than that of its verbal ...
