Cara Haymaker, who is in charge of this research program, reports that they have identified a successful treatment for experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, a disease affecting mice that is very similar to multiple sclerosis in humans. So far, the research team has been able to completely reverse the disease in mice with two forms of treatment. 3 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:52:21 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/christ/ipod/2-Christ_Shawn.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/christ/ipod/2-Christ_Shawn.m4v The majority of Christ’s work focuses on the brain’s inferior frontal gyrus. That’s the part of the brain involved in most higher-level abilities: working memory, strategy use, inhibitory control, and especially keeping track of the to-do list for any sort of task. 3 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:25:38 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/christ/ipod/5-Christ_Shawn.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/christ/ipod/5-Christ_Shawn.m4v Christ uses a lot of technology, including an eye tracker, projections, and functional and structural MRIs, to figure out why the brain works the way it does. All of these tools have their advantages and disadvantages. 3 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:28:37 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/will/ipod/Will_07_fighting_biology.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/will/ipod/Will_07_fighting_biology.m4v Will describes a recent project exploring the relationship between binge-eating and increased food palatability. Genetics plays a large role in our craving for high-calorie food. 3 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 00:22:10 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/bartholow/ipod/Clip_02_Alcohol_and_Emotion.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/bartholow/ipod/Clip_02_Alcohol_and_Emotion.m4v The project on alcohol and race bias led Bartholow to explore the question of why alcohol reduces the brain’s response to errors. He found that alcohol reduces negative affect, increasing the subjects’ positive feelings and thus causing them to care less about their classification errors. 3 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:25:10 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/bartholow/ipod/Clip_03_Research_Applicability.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/bartholow/ipod/Clip_03_Research_Applicability.m4v Bartholow explains that his research extends beyond an exploration of alcohol and its effects on social behaviors: it tells us about how the brain works. 3 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:28:15 GMT
