    Effects of Iron Deficiency on Social-Emotional Behavior of Internationally Adopted Children
    (2010-04-21) Zuck, Taylor
    Iron Deficiency Anemia affects 20-25% of infants around the world, and even more are experiencing iron deficiency without anemia. Iron Deficiency has been reported in internationally adopted children, including those from Eastern Europe, China and Guatemala. Infants with iron deficiencies are known to test lower on various measures of development as well as show differences in affect. Infants' social-emotional behavior has been shown to be adversely affected by iron deficiency with or without anemia. The aim of this study is to assess the differences between post-institutionalized children with iron deficiency and those without on measures of social-emotional behavior.

    Investigation of the Novel Peptide TUF1 in Context Conditioning
    (2011-08-11) Reise, Kathryn
    • TUF1 is a newly discovered peptide expressed in the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, and endocrine tissues (Figure 1B). These regions are crucial for the integration of external stimuli and play an important role in necessary responses for survival, such as fear acquisition to environments. •This study will measure the role of TUF1 in context and will measure whether TUF1 expression is altered after contextual conditioning. •Figure 1A shows the predicted structure of TUF1. Illustrated is the signal peptide (SP) and transmembrane region (TM). •TUF has a p75 receptor-binding domain, a domain commonly found in neurotrophins such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This indicates that TUF1 could have possible effects on neuronal plasticity.
