The House on Mango Street and "I Dreamed a Dream" convey…

Employing a battery of behavioral tests such as prepulse inhibition, three chamber, and open field tests allowed us to measure tactile deficits, anxiety-like behavior, and social interaction deficits among mutant, mutant rescue, and wild type mice. We found that restoration of Gabrb3 using viral expression at P5-P6 improved tactile deficits as well as anxiety-like behavior, showing that this could be a possible target for treatment that may improve ASD outcomes when treated at an early…

Many have had fathers that have stayed with them, while others may have left their families for financial or other reasons. There are good fathers, but sadly there are bad fathers. Two stories we read in class involve fathers, “Powder” by Tobias Wolff and Amy Hempel’s “Today Will Be a…

Zoo scientists continue to observe the population and guide the program to ensure healthy genetics among the lizards. The commitment and expertise of the San Diego Zoo has been vital in saving this species from extinction and…
