of Parkinson's
Disease Our work explores activity patterns in two basal ganglia areas, the external segment of the globus pallidus (GPe) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN), which we believe may play a role in the generation of parkinsonian limb tremor. |

The Rhythms of Smell: by Manuel Gomez-Ramirez and Prof. Bard Ermentrout When any animal receives sensory inputs, these inputs go to different parts of the brain where they are processed in order to produce some sort of response from the animal. The processing is done by neuron cells. In this project we modeled the response of neurons to an odor stimulus using a neural network. More |

Symmetries of the plane and Euclidean 3-space: by Rolf Suabedissen and Profs. Paul Gartside and Bob Heath Although studied for thousands of years the topology and geometry of the plane and 3-d space we live in remain quite mysterious. In this project we investigated how subsets of R2 and R3 can be `positioned'. In particular the variety of countable dense subsets of the plane, and the symmetries of Cantor subsets of R3. More |
